Hello there,

To apply for the GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) exam, you need to have a relevant background in engineering, technology, architecture, or science. Since you have completed your graduation in the arts stream, you would not be eligible to apply for GATE in its traditional engineering disciplines.

Eligibility Criteria for GATE:

  • Educational Qualification:

    a) A Bachelor’s degree in Engineering/Technology/Architecture (4 years after 10+2 or 3 years after Diploma).

    b) A Master’s degree in any branch of Science/Mathematics/Statistics/Computer Applications or equivalent.

    Options for Arts Graduates:
  1. Pursue a Relevant Degree:

    If you are truly interested in engineering, you might consider enrolling in a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Technology. After completing this, you would be eligible to take the GATE exam.

  2. GATE in Humanities and Social Sciences (XH):

    GATE introduced a Humanities and Social Sciences (XH) paper for students from arts backgrounds. It includes sections like Economics, English, Linguistics, Philosophy, Psychology, and Sociology.

  3. Alternate Pathways:

    If you're interested in technical fields like Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, etc., you could consider diploma courses or certifications that might allow you to transition into those fields without a traditional engineering degree.

  4. MCA or MBA:

    You could pursue a Master of Computer Applications (MCA) or Master of Business Administration (MBA) and then explore career options in the tech or management fields.

    What You Can Do Next:

If you're passionate about pursuing engineering through GATE, your best course of action would be to either pursue a degree that qualifies you or explore the new GATE papers like Humanities and Social Sciences that align more closely with your background.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
