Hi, I m pranathi


Students who are the citizens of India are eligible for writing GATE examination. Other than India, students from United Arab Emirates(UAE), Ethiopia, Singapore, Nepal, Srilanka and Bangladesh are also eligible for writing the GATE examination.


Students who are the citizens of above mentioned foreign countries can write their exams in their respective countries. As the government is allotting centres in foreign countries, so that people find it easy to attend their exam. The priority can be given to the center nearest to you.Over 660 centers are alloted in total the above mentioned countries. 


People of any age are eligible for applying GATE examination. But they should be a graduate in bachelor of Technology /architecture.


The fee for students is US$10 for Indian female, SC, ST,and physically challenged students. For other Indian citizens it is US$21. The students of others nations have to pay US$50.


All the best!

I am an international student from(Nepal)
Currently pursuing B.Tech CSE course (5th sem) in India.  My dream is to pursue M.Tech from top IIT's /premier universities of India.
Does indian government allows international student to appear for GATE exam  ? Or do I have to appear for any other seperate exams ? Are there any special Quotas/reservations/procedures through which I can pursue my M.Tech degree from top IIT's / premier universities of India  ?
   Please_help,  Any suggestions/guidance on this topic will be very beneficial on shaping my future 🙏

Hello Aspirant,

GATE 2019 Eligibility Criteria is as follows -

Nationality -

  • Indian national candidates will be eligible for GATE 2019.
  • Candidates belonging to Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Ethiopia and United Arab Emirates (U.A.E) will also be eligible to appear for GATE 2019.

Any foreign national can appear GATE. In fact, GATE has exam centers in some foreign countries, such as Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Nepal, Singapore, Sri Lanka and United Arab Emirates (U.A.E) in order to help international candidates for appearing the exam. Also, GATE score is considered in many universities in countries like Singapore, Germany etc.

Hope this helps.
