When Did IIT Kharagpur Conduct GATE Exam? The Graduate Aptitude Test for Engineering (GATE) is a national level entrance test which is conducted for admission into postgraduate engineering and science courses. The GATE exam follows a rotational organising responsibility among the exam participating institutes like IITs and IISc. Specifically the IIT Kharagpur GATE conducted years are 1988, 1994, 2000, 2006, 2014, and 2022. Such a system of exam conducting responsibility on a rotational institution basis serves for innovations in designing the exam paper, administration, and transparency during their respective exam conducting periods.

A new paper, Ecology and Evolution, was introduced in GATE 2014. Examinations for all 22 papers were conducted as online computer based tests. The online examination paper contained some questions for which numerical answers had to be keyed by the candidate using the virtual keypad, while the rest were multiple choice questions. The GATE 2014 examinations were held during forenoon and afternoon sessions on alternate weekends between 1st Feb and 2nd March 2014.
In 2006, when IIT Kharagpur organized the GATE exam, there were no major changes in structural, format, or eligibility changes made specific to that year. The exam was conducted in a traditional offline mode, pen and paper-based tests, as was the norm until GATE shifted to online mode in 2014. The syllabus, question paper formats, and exam processes followed established standards of undergraduate engineering subjects.
According to the data available, it is observed that there were no major changes made in the GATE 2000 exam conducted by the IIT Kharagpur. For more information regarding the changes made in GATE exam 2000 by IIT Kharagpur, candidates can check the official brochure available on the IITs website.
There is no specific detailed information available regarding the changes introduced in the GATE exam conducted by IIT Kharagpur in 1994. Generally, the GATE exam in those years followed its established exam format, focusing on testing the candidates’ technical knowledge and aptitude for postgraduate engineering programs without significant deviations.
There is no clear publicly available information about any big changes or new rules introduced in the year. At that time, the GATE exam was paper-based and covered different engineering and science subjects.

Hello,
Yes, the GATE exam is valued for M.Sc. Microbiology in some institutes.
Many IITs, IISc, and some top universities accept GATE scores for admission to M.Sc. or integrated PhD programmes in Microbiology and related fields.
It is more commonly used for M.Tech/PhD admissions, but for M.Sc. Microbiology, a few institutes also consider GATE.
Some universities may prefer their own entrance exams instead.
It is best to check the admission rules of the specific university or institute you are interested in.
Hope it helps !
Hello
As an EEE (Electrical and Electronics Engineering) graduate, your core GATE paper is EE (Electrical Engineering).
You can also choose papers like IN (Instrumentation) or EC (Electronics and Communication) if you're comfortable. GATE now allows two-paper combinations EE plus IN is a valid pair.
Choose based on your strengths and future goals (e.g., PSU jobs, M.Tech). Always check the latest GATE brochure for updated paper codes and combinations.
Here’s a concise 5-point version you can use:
Know syllabus & pattern: Focus on core subjects of your branch and General Aptitude.
Study material: Use UG textbooks, reference books, and previous year GATE papers.
Plan & practice: Make a daily/weekly schedule, solve problems, and revise regularly.
Mock tests & accuracy: Take weekly mock tests, analyze mistakes, and improve speed.
PSU recruitment: Apply to PSUs like NTPC, IOCL, BHEL, ONGC, GAIL based on GATE scores; some conduct interviews.
Hello,
Yes, you can change your category from General to OBC during the GATE 2026 correction window.
GATE always allows candidates to correct details like category. You will need to pay a small correction fee for this change. Make sure you upload a valid OBC certificate as per the format and date mentioned by GATE.
So, wait for the correction window, log in to your application, and update your category to OBC.
Hope it helps !
