Hi Kamlesh,

GATE is an abbreviation for General Aptitude test in Engineering . It tests your comprehension understanding of various undergraduate subjects of engineering and science. It is conducted every year almost around February by IITs on behalf of National Coordination Board - GATE & MHRD.

It also helps you get post graduate engineering admissions in different colleges. If you want to give this exam you mist be either a final year student ir graduate of bachelor's degree(or equivalent) in engineering  architecture or Master's degree in science, computer applications, or etc. 

Hope your queries were answered.

Thank you
