    The document discusses how GATE scores and percentile scores are calculated. GATE scores range from 0 to 1000 and reflect a candidate's ability, while percentile scores show what percentage of candidates scored lower than the individual. GATE scores are calculated based on marks obtained, average marks, and standard deviation. Percentile scores are calculated by taking the number of candidates with lower scores divided by the total number of candidates, multiplied by 100. Requests for reevaluation or recounting of scores will not be granted.

    i. 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 ye ar 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 th is scorecard, in the current year. s = standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper ment ioned on this scorecard, in the current year. K1 and K2 are determined respectively from the mean and standard deviation of ma rks of all candidates across all papers and years since GATE 2002. A typical qualitative interpretation of the GATE SCORE, for example, can be as f ollows:

    1. * GATE Score Range Ability Level 800 to 1000 Outstanding 675 to 800 Excellent 550 to 675 Very good 425 to 550 Good 300 to 425 Above average 100 to 300 Average Below 100 Below average 2. Percentile Score The percentile score is not the same as percentage of marks. The percentil e 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 fol lows: 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 (t here 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, wil l 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 s canning machines, with utmost care. Requests for revaluation of the answer scrip t and re-totaling of marks will not be entertained. * The GATE result and particulars of the qualified candidates will be made a vailable to interested organizations (educational institutions, R and D laborato ries, industries etc.) in India and abroad based on written request by the organ ization and on payment. Details can be obtained from GATE Chairmen of IITs / IIS c.
