Hello Prageeth.

Well I can assist u in this. See there is no age limitation for applying for GATE exam so u can apply for it without any hesitation but all the year backs must be cleared.

Most of the PSUs prefer the age duration of 25-28 so are no more older than this. If u are getting good score then that will create no problem in getting u good results through the GATE.

Hope u gout ur point. Ask for any query.

Good luck
