Admission to postgraduate programmes, with MHRD and other government scholarship/assistantship, in Engineering/Technology/Architecture/Pharmacy/Science at engineering colleges/institutes in the country will be open only to those who qualify through GATE.

Some engineering colleges/institutes specify GATE as mandatory qualification even for admission of self-financing students to postgraduate programmes.

However, GATE qualification in itself does not guarantee either admission or scholarship/assistantship.

Candidates are required to find out the procedure of final selection and award of Scholarship/Assistantship from the institutions in which they seek admission.
