GATE Exam Pattern 2025

GATE is a computer-based examination. The main purpose of this exam is to check a candidate’s understanding and knowledge of engineering subjects. All the papers will be objective type, which will include multiple-choice questions (MCQs), multiple selection questions (MSQs), and numerical answer type (NAT) questions.

All of these questions carry either 1 or 2 marks. Correctly answering a question awards the candidate with either 1 or 2 marks. A wrong answer results in the deduction of 1/3 marks for a 1-mark question and 2/3 marks for a 2-mark question. There is negative marking for wrong answers, so candidates should be very careful while attempting the questions. In case of doubt, sometimes not answering a question can be more beneficial than attempting and losing marks.

For the papers in Architecture and Planning, Chemistry, Ecology and Evolution, Geology and Geophysics, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Life Sciences, 15% of the total marks come from the General Aptitude section and the remaining 85% from the subject chosen by the candidate.

The rest of the subject papers include the mathematics section. For papers in Aerospace Engineering, Agriculture Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Biotechnology, Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Science and Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mining Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Production and Industrial Engineering, Textile Engineering, Fiber Science, and Engineering Sciences, 13% of the marks come from the Engineering Mathematics section, 15% from the General Aptitude section, and the remaining 72% from the subject itself.

Must Check: GATE Online Mock Test Series Schedule

Most of the papers has three sections. One section is the General Aptitude section, another is the compulsory subject section, and the final section consists of a subject that the candidate can choose.

GATE Result 2025 and Further Opportunities

A good GATE result can open up multiple opportunities for a candidate. The main and most popular reason that many appear for the GATE exam is to pursue higher studies. Students who get a very good rank in the exam can get admission to any of the IITs, NITs, or IISCs of India. Generally, students who get a rank under 1500 are sure to get admission to any IIT or institute of their choosing. Students can get admission to the M.Tech. or ME programs with the help of a good GATE rank. Most prestigious private and government institutes of India accept students who get a GATE rank under 2500 for their master’s program.

  • Admission isn’t the only benefit students get when they get an excellent GATE rank. Students are also awarded a stipend and a ton of other benefits that help the students pay their academic expenses. It can be seen as financial aid that is awarded to these extraordinary students for their excellence.
  • Even if a student is unable to get admission to IITs or NITs with the help of their GATE score, they can go for research positions instead. A GATE score is accepted for many Junior Research fellowships, most notably in the CSIR Laboratories. Research work is important for the development of our amazing country, and India needs more people who will research the underdeveloped areas of our country and improve them. That is why the choice to do research after GATE is such a great option.
  • Indian Technological Institutes are not the only universities that provide admission based on a good GATE score. You can get admission even outside India with the help of a good GATE score. Universities in Singapore and Germany also accept students based on a good GATE score. The National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) located in Singapore are two options you can go for.
  • Although you are also going to need a good academic record along with a good GATE score to get admission to these institutes. Technical University of Munich and Aachen University are two of the universities that are located in Germany that offer students admission to master’s degree programs based on their performance in the GATE exam.
  • A good GATE score is also a requirement for many jobs, in both the private and government sectors. Some of the most prestigious companies in the world, like Tata, Cisco, Samsung, and Google, expect their employees to have an M.Tech. degree, for which you are going to need a good GATE score. Even if you go for a job just after completing your bachelor’s degree, having a good GATE score can seriously flaunt your skills and make you stand out a little bit from others that you are competing with.
  • You can even get job offers from PSUs if you have a good GATE score. BHEL, ONGC, PGCIL, IOCL, and over 200 other Govt department and Public Sector Undertakings offer jobs to those who pass their GATE exams with a good GATE score. So, having a good GATE score is almost a necessary requirement for recruitment in any of these sectors.
