GATE Score
The GATE
SCORE of a candidate is a statistical performance index in the range 0 to 1000.
It reflects the ability of a candidate, irrespective of the paper or year in
which he/she has qualified. Candidates with same GATE SCORE from different
disciplines and/or years can be considered to be of equal ability.
where,
m = marks
obtained by the candidate.
a = average of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on
this scorecard, in the current year.
s = standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper
mentioned on this scorecard, in the current year.
K1 and K2 are determined respectively from the mean and
standard deviation of marks of all candidates across all papers and years since
GATE 2002.
A typical qualitative interpretation of the GATE SCORE, for example, can be as
follows:
Percentile
Score
The
percentile score is not the same as percentage of marks. The percentile score of
a candidate shows what percentage of candidates, who appeared in the same paper
in GATE 2005, scored less marks than him/her. It is calculated as follows: Let N
be the total number of candidates appearing in that paper and nc be
the number of candidates who have the same all India rank c in the same paper
(there can be bunching at a given all India rank). Then all the candidates,
whose all India rank is r, will have the same percentile score P, where
The
percentile score in each paper is calculated as follows: Let N be the total
number of candidates appearing in that paper, and nc be the number of candidates
who have the same all India rank c in the same paper (there can be bunching at a
given all India rank), then all the candidates, whose all India rank is r, will
have the same percentile score P, where
P = {(no. of
candidates securing marks less than the candidate concerned)/N}x100

The
evaluation of the ORS is carried out by a computerized process using scanning
machines, with utmost care. Requests for revaluation of the answer script and
re-totaling of marks will not be entertained.
·
The GATE
result and particulars of the qualified candidates will be made available to
interested organizations (educational institutions, R and D laboratories,
industries etc.) in India and abroad based on written request by the
organization and on payment. Details can be obtained from GATE Chairmen of IITs
/ IISc.
Where GATE
Result is used?
Admission to Postgraduate Courses, with MHRD Scholarship / Assistantship, in
Engineering / Technology / Architecture / Pharmacy at Colleges / Institutes in
the country will be open only to those who qualify through GATE. Some
engineering colleges/Institutes specify GATE as mandatory qualification even for
admission of self-financing students.
Who can
Benefit from Data on GATE Qualified Candidates
The
GATE result is currently seen as one of the bench marks for admission to
post-graduate and research programmes by many Universities outside the country
as well. The GATE qualified candidates in the Engineering discipline are also
eligible for the award of Junior Research Fellowship in CSIR Laboratories. Many
industries and business houses are using the GATE score as one of the
performance indicators for making recruitments. Some industries and universities
abroad have shown their interest in obtaining particulars of GATE qualified
candidates. The GATE Committee has therefore decided to provide the relevant
details of GATE qualified candidates to prospective users. This is a great
opportunity for obtaining particulars of the top ranking engineering graduates
and science post graduates who have qualified in the National level, Graduate
Aptitude Test in Engineering. Particulars of the GATE qualified candidates in
various discipline papers listed in the table can be made available to the
prospective users from industries, scientific organizations, public sector and
private undertakings and from Indian and universities abroad on payment of
applicable charges. The information will pertain to only those candidates who
have agreed that such information can be made available to prospective users.
