Know About GATE 2026 Exam
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is a national examination conducted for admission to M.Tech, ME, or direct PhD programs in top institutes like IIT, NIT, IIIT, or to make a career in leading Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).
Note: Qualifying in the GATE examination does not guarantee admission, scholarship, or a job. Admission to any institute is dependent on the admitting institute’s criteria for educational qualification. A GATE qualification does not assure a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) job, as it depends on the recruitment procedure of the concerned PSU.
How Are GATE Scores Calculated?
While the GATE exam is conducted for a total of 100 marks, the final score is reported out of 1000. It is important to understand that the GATE score reflects a candidate’s performance on a normalised scale.
GATE Normalisation Process
Since some GATE 2026 papers are conducted in multiple sessions, normalisation is used to ensure fairness, and a single formula alone cannot determine the final score.
