Questions related to GATE
I qualified GATE WITH VALID SCORE. In order to Join UVCE college Bangalore, Should I need to apply the Gate score to PGCET 2022 ? or else is there any direct admission ? please suggest the way of admission
Hello,
If you have a valid GATE you do not have to apply for Karnataka PGCET in order to appear for the exam but you need to apply for admission process through Karnataka PGCET portal only. The first preference is given for students who have GATE score after all the seat are filled and if there are vacant seats then seats will be filled by the students who have appeared for Karnataka PGCET exam. You need to fill an application on KEA portal once the registration begins. You have to attend the counselling as per the schedule. The eligibility criteria is that a candidate must have passed qualifying examination with minimum 50% marks taken together. For candidates belonging to SC, ST and Category-I need to score minimum 45% marks taken together. If a candidate wishes to join in part time M.E. / M.Tech / M.Arch courses then he/she must have worked for not less than three years as on 31st July in the year of admission in an establishment and must be working in an organization situated within a radial distance of 40 km from the institution in which the candidate seeks admission.

i`m doing bsc hons computer science and my first year is about to end . i was preparing for jee mains side by side but again i didn`t get good rank . should i continue my jee repration or should i start my GATE prepration for masters .
Hello aspirant
As your profile says you are an engineering aspirant, go for GATE preparation over JEE mains because you didn't achieve a good rank according to your expectations, it is the best time to start your GATE preparation. GATE scores are valid for various job opportunities as well as you can go for master's in top government colleges based on your GATE scores.
Hope this will help you.
Are there any national level institutions that enrol students for Msc physics through gate XE or gate mechanical?
Dear Student,
IIT-JAM merit is used to determine admission to NIT's M.Sc. Physics programme. You must therefore show up for IIT-JAM. You must have studied Physics and Mathematics for two years or two semesters in the prerequisite examination, which is a bachelor's degree from a recognised board, in order to be eligible for admission to the M.Sc. Physics programme. If you fall under the general category, your qualifying exam result must be at least 55% overall or a CGPA of 5.5 on a scale of 10. You must receive at least 50% overall or a 5.0 cumulative grade point average on a scale of 1 to 10 from a recognised board if you are a member of the SC, ST, or PWD.
should I take engineering or BSC (teaching felled) ? I am confused where I will gate my life secure and help my parents as army as possible because I have still 2 sisters bhidha me and I am also female, I am totally massed up
Dear Aspirant,
The value and employability of the course that you pursue depends on how well you perform and which college you get your degree from.
Hence, the short answer to your question is that it depends on your situation.
If you are willing to work hard and improve your skills after joining College, computer science engineering is one of the most employable course at the moment. You have a lot of varied requirements for your skills
If you are doing BSc, you still have a really good chance of Landing a teaching/ R & D job but that again requires more effort than former.
In my opinion, if you are getting BSc in a good college and are really passionate about it, go for it. You can finish the course with way less fee and have more chances of getting scholarships as well.
If you are getting BTech in a good college the definitely choose it, if employment is your primary goal. You can work hard and land a lucrative job.
Hope this helps
What are the courses provided by physics departments of iits,nits and other national level institutes opted through gate XE?
Hello Aspirant,
It's not the best option for you if you want to work for a PSU, but you can certainly apply if you want to enrol in a master's programme in technology at an IIT or NIT. If your degree meets the eligibility requirements, such as having a degree in mechanical engineering and taking the GATE XE exam, you'll be excellently qualified for an M.Tech in the aforementioned discipline. However, many older IITs, such as the IITKGP and IITK, have courses like material, cryogenic, aerospace, etc. that permit XE paper qualified candidates to take participation in the admission process at par with the most competitive gate papers, like ME and CH.
You might be surprised to learn that a candidate with a degree in mechanical engineering and a GATE score in the ME paper would have difficulty enrolling in the courses because XE has less competition than ME does, and there are seats allocated for each combination of degree and GATE score in the interdisciplinary courses mentioned above and many others. Therefore, it would be relatively simpler for a candidate with a degree in mechanical engineering and a GATE paper in XE to enrol in those courses. Consult the iitkgp brochure for m.tech. admission from last year for a better understanding and idea.
Wishing you luck
