Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing well...!!

You are not eligible for GATE as this exam is primarily for science students.

GATE is a national-level post-graduation entrance exam conducted for admission to M.Tech, M.E, or Ph.D. programs.

To appear for the GATE Entrance exam you must have completed your Bachelor's degree in Engineering/ Technology or Masters's degree (M.Sc.) in any relevant science subject.

Hope this helps you!

All the best!
