Hello Aspirant

The most common option after qualifying GATE is to pursue M.E/M.Tech/Phd in NITs , IIITs, IITs and CFTIs. Selection of the candidates in any institute is done on the basis of their GATE scores. Candidates should also know which is the right institute, course, specialization for them.

After Qualifying not only the institute but the stream also should be decided wisely.

After 2012, many PSUs have started recruiting GATE qualified candidates on the basis of their scores. Getting recruited by these PSUs can give a new direction to the career path of the candidates. In 2020, PSUs like ONGC, Power Grid, NTPC, IOCL, BHEL, DRDO announced direct recruitment of candidates on the basis of GATE scores. Many candidates appear for GATE for PSU recruitment only because these PSUs not only offer high packages to the candidates but also provide job security and other perks. Starting package of candidates recruited in these PSUs in 7 lakh to 11 lakh per annum.

Hope it helps!!!

Hello,

There are definite research positions available through GATE in Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC). But, BARC conducts its examination for recruitment. Also, industries like ISRO conduct their exams on a similar pattern as GATE.

The selection procedure for PSU is a valid GATE marks of the recent year and then a round of Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI).

Thank you.
