The exam will be conducted by IISc Bangalore and seven IITs (IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras, IIT Roorkee), on behalf of the National Coordination Board - GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education (MoE), Government of India (GoI).

Qualified GATE score can be used for seeking admission and / or financial assistance to:

• Master’s programs and direct doctoral programs in Engineering / Technology / Architecture / Science / Commerce / Arts
• Doctoral programs in relevant branches of Arts and Science, in the institutions supported by the MoE and other Government agencies

GATE score is also used by some colleges and institutions for giving admission to students without MoE scholarship / assistantship. Further, many Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) have been using the GATE score in their recruitment process.
