Last date for GATE, JAM registration extended to October 13: IIT K
IIT Kanpur is one of the eight academic institutions conducting the examination on behalf of the Ministry of Education (MoE).
The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering or GATE is the entrance exam for admission to Masters in Engineering (M.E) and Masters in Technology (M.Tech) courses in engineering colleges across India. IITs, NITs and GFTIs primarily accept GATE sores, while Public Sector Units (PSU) like ONGC, BHEL, HPCL are some of the major recruiters through GATE.
But the good news is that students with dreams of studying abroad can also apply to some of the best universities in the world through their GATE scores.
While most universities abroad have their own selection criteria or accept GRE score, some institutes, especially, in countries like Singapore and Germany, accept GATE score.
