What if sutdent cracks GATE in his/her 3rd year of engineering?What to do after that? Should wait for the graduation completion or what?

Hello,

GATE score is valid for three years from the date when the results are published. Of you have qualified in GATE when you are in third year of B.E/B.Tech you can apply for admissions or PSUs when you are in fourth year if the candidates who are in final year are eligible to apply. For most of the admission processes and PSUs recruitment final year candidates are eligible to apply but the final selection will be done only if you have passed in the qualifying exam and obtained the certificates on or before the cut off date. So by this you need to wait until you are in final year. You can also apply for admissions and PSUs recruitment based on GATE score after you are graduated.
