Purpose
The GATE exam serves multiple purposes, including admission to postgraduate programs (Masters and Ph.D.) in Indian higher education institutes, recruitment for public sector companies, and eligibility for financial assistance through scholarships and fellowships. Candidates with a rank of less than 100 will be called for the interview to various posts in top PSUs in India. Govt agencies like BARC, ISRO, DRDO, etc., select eligible candidates for the post of scientists through GATE Examination.
The GATE exam is almost similar to the examinations mentioned above. So once you prepare for GATE, it will eventually help you to crack these examinations. Many students opt for coaching to enhance their preparation, and there are specialized “gate coaching institutes” that offer comprehensive guidance and study materials to help aspirants achieve better results.
Due to the quality and worldwide acceptance of the GATE Examination, it is now considered as a medium for admission into various postgraduate programs in top foreign universities. Admission to most of these institutions is purely based on the GATE score, whereas some IITs and IISC conduct interviews in addition to GATE SCORE.
