The Results of the GATE examination will provide an
all India rank to the qualified students based on their percentile scoring. This
means that if one student gets 99 as percentile score, he is recognized in the
topmost 1 per cent category of appearing students in Gate. The students who get
less than 70 percentile are not eligible for the score card. The score cards
are sent to only the qualified students and no any information is sent to the
non-qualified candidates. After the declaration of the Gate exam results, the
qualified students must apply to get application forms of individual
educational institutes.
Then the students are guided to get M.Tech admissions in renowned institutes
through the help of newspapers from the date of 1st April till
the end of the month July. The students get admissions in different institutes
based on their percentile scored in GATE. There may be a possibility that the
concerned institute may conduct another written test or interview during the
admission process. If one gets 96 percentile score, he would get admission in the leading Indian
institutes like Rookie, BITS Pilani, RECs etc. If less than 85 percentile, one
may look for other appropriate institutes
Scholarship
for the qualified candidates:
During the pursuing time for
M.Tech, the student gets a scholarship for Rs.5000 to Rs.9000 on a monthly
basis by the Indian Government. This amount is given in order to fulfill one’s
living expenses like purchasing of books and so on. This scholarship is paid
throughout M.Tech i.e. for 24 months or 2 years. The students who are in their 3rd year or last year in B.Tech
programme can also appear in the Gate examination. This is because:
- The score card per student is valid for 1
year.
- The Gate prescribed syllabus covers subjects
up to 5th semester in B.Tech.
- It can be a good effort, if one scores a bad
rank and one should be always ready to try again.
