One Stop Series for GATE/IES/PSU 2015

Old GATE Questions from 1991-2014

With KEY segregated at Topic Level

What is GATE?
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all India entrance

Examination conducted jointly by IISc and seven other IITs, every year in
the month of February/March.

The GATE score/Rank is used for admissions to Post graduate

Programmes (ME, M.Tech, MS, direct Ph.D) in IISc, IITs and other

Universities in India, with financial assistance provided by MHRD.

***The GATE Score may also be used by PSUs for recruitment of

candidates for prestigious jobs with attractive salary packages.

Some of the PSUs, which use GATE score for providing jobs, include BARC,
BHEL, IOCL, HPCL, NTPC, Power Grid, NHPC etc.

New in GATE 2015

Now GATE Score is valid for 3years

No scientific Calculator is allowed inside exam hall. They provide online

Scientific Calculator only.

There may not be any Linked/Common Data Questions

Complete application process is online only.
