HI Friends..This is the time to concentrate on most awaited entrance exam GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering). GATE - 2012 is different from all previous examinations. This is the first time that all NAVARATNA Public Sectors are accepting the GATE - 2012 score to recruit the employees in the PSU's. So a single GATE exam can be benefit us in two ways,

1. To enter for M.Tech course in reputed Institutions like IIT's, IISC & NIT's etc..,
2. To be placed in any PSU with good GATE score.

This is the post which gives you the complete structure of GATE examinatiuon, which is enclosed with Syllabus & Previous papers for all branches.

Structure of GATE - 2012

GATE - 2012 invites the applications in 21 different streams of Engineering. They are listed below
