GATE EXAM 2024 GUIDE!!!

The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is a nationwide examination that is collaboratively organized by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, along with seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras, and IIT Roorkee) on behalf of the National Coordination Board (NCB)-GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education (MoE), Government of India.

GATE is administered in a computer-based format (CBT) and assesses candidates’ comprehensive understanding of a wide range of undergraduate subjects in Engineering, Technology, Science, and Architecture, as well as both undergraduate and post-graduate level subjects in Humanities and Science. GATE 2024 will include 30 different test papers, spread out over four days. The examination dates for GATE 2024 are scheduled for February 3, 4, 10, and 11, 2024. This examination will be conducted in multiple cities across India and will not be held in centers located outside of India.
