GATE stands for Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering, and it is a national-level entrance exam that tests the candidates’ knowledge and skills in various engineering disciplines. GATE is conducted by one of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) every year on behalf of the National Coordination Board (NCB). The GATE score is used for admission to postgraduate programs like M.Tech, M.E., and Ph.D. in IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other reputed institutions. It is also used for recruitment by some public sector undertakings (PSUs) like IOCL, ONGC, NTPC, etc.
GATE 2023 was conducted by IIT Kanpur on February 4th, 5th, 11th, and 12th across multiple cities in India. More than 8 lakh candidates appeared for the exam this year. The exam was held online as a computer-based test (CBT) with multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and numerical answer type (NAT) questions. The exam duration was three hours and the total marks were 100.
The provisional answer keys for GATE 2023 were released on February 21st and the candidates were allowed to challenge them till February 24th. The final answer keys were released on March 16th along with the results. The candidates can check their results online on the official website – https://gate.iitk.ac.in/ by entering their enrollment ID and password.
The GATE result shows the marks obtained by the candidate out of 100, the qualifying marks for each paper category-wise (General/OBC-NCL/SC/ST/PwD), and the score out of 1000. The score is calculated based on a normalization process that takes into account the difficulty level of each paper and session. The score is valid for three years from the date of announcement of results.
The GATE scorecard will be available for download from March 21st to May 31st without any fee. After that, it can be downloaded by paying a fee of Rs.500 till December 31st. From January 1st, 2024 onwards, it will not be available at all.
