Hello Rishu,

Thanks for contacting Careers360.

A VALID GATE score can bring a candidate brilliant opportunities in many fields like academic, job, research, etc.

• Higher Education after Gate: One of the reasons why people appear for GATE is to pursue higher studies. A good and a Valid GATE score can get an aspirant admission to Postgraduate or Doctoral programme in a reputed engineering institute. If one has a high All India Rank, then the student might easily get admitted to an IISc, IIT or NIT. 
• Jobs after Gate:

CAMPUS Placements: Getting admission in the top engineering institutes like IISC, IITs, NITs, PEC, DCE etc.  increases the probability of the aspirant securing a high paid job in a multinational company. 

Private sector Jobs: Many of the private companies are more focused towards research and development these days. Therefore, they give more preference to students with a Postgraduate degree and a valid GATE score. 

PSU through GATE: PSUs like BHEL, ONGC, WBSEDCL, HPCL, MDL, IOCL, BPCL, NTPC, DDA, Power Grid, etc. fill vacancies through GATE score. One must score exceptionally well in order to get PSUs.

CSIR- JUNIOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP: Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), India, a premier national R&D organization, is among the world’s largest publicly funded R&D organization. Every year CSIR takes in many junior researchers through GATE. 

Foreign companies and institutes: Many foreign companies these days give extra credit to Indian candidates who have a valid GATE score. Also, many universities abroad demand a valid GATE score from Indian candidates for accepting allocations to specialized Postgraduate degree programs. 

Hope this helps. Good luck!
