GATE Coaching
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE ) is an all India examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of the candidate in various undergraduate subjects in Engineering/Technology/Architecture and post-graduate level subjects in Science. The GATE score of a candidate reflects a relative performance level in a particular subject in then (this) exam across several years. The score is used for admissions to post-graduate programs (e.g. M.E., M.Tech, direct Ph.D.) in Indian institutes of higher education with financial assistance provided by MHRD and other Government agencies. The score may also be used by Public and Private Sector Undertakings for employment screening purposes. The information in this brochure is mainly categorized into Pre-Examination (Eligibility, Application submission, Examination Centers, etc.), Examination (Syllabus, Pattern, Marks/Score, Model Question Papers, etc.) & Post-Examination (Answers, Results, Scorecard, etc.) sections.
ABOUT GATE
The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs at Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) jointly administer the conduct of GATE. The operations related to GATE in each of the 8 zones are managed by a zonal GATE Office at the IITs or IISc. The Organizing Institute (OI) is responsible for the end-to-end process and coordination amongst the administering Institutes. The Organizing Institute for GATE 2017 is IISc Banglore.
BASIC FEATURES OF GATE 2017
1. Examinations for all the 22 papers will be conducted by an ONLINE Computer Based Test (CBT). The online examination paper will contain some questions for which numerical answers must be keyed in by the candidate using the virtual keypad. Rest of the questions shall be of Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) type.
2. Biometric information (Photograph and Fingerprints) for randomly selected candidates may be captured before the start of the examination.
3. GATE 2017 examinations will be held during forenoon and afternoon sessions on alternate weekends (Saturday and Sunday) between 23rd January 2017 and 7th February 2017. Examination for some of the papers in GATE 2017 will be held in multiple sessions. Exact details regarding complete examination schedule will be notified at a later date.
4. For GATE 2017 the entire process of filling up of application form, uploading of certificates/documents, etc., will be online and the candidates should not send any hard copy of their application form/documents, etc., to any of the IIT/IISc zonal GATE office.
5. The payment of application fees would be online through different modes like net banking, debit/credit card, e-challan, etc.
6. The admit cards for GATE 2017 would be available through the online process only. Candidates can download their admit card from GATE 2017 website. No hard copy of admit cards will be posted to the candidates.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON GATE 2017
- Application Process : For GATE 2017 all information related to the candidates will be available in a single GATE Online Application Processing System (GOAPS). Candidates have to register and fill the application via ONLINE mode ONLY by accessing the zonal GATE websites of IISc and any of the seven IITs. The photograph and signature of the applicant must be uploaded during the online application. Please note that all necessary certificates, such as, degree certificate/certificate from the Principal and the category certificate, if any are also to be uploaded. Please note that application forms are not available for sale anywhere else.
- Downloadable Admit Card : Admit cards will NOT be sent by e-mail/post, they can ONLY be downloaded from the zonal GATE websites tentatively from 17th December 2016. The candidate has to bring the printed admit card to the test center along with at least one original (not photocopied/scanned copy) and valid (not expired) photo identification. It may be noted that one of the following photo identifications is ONLY permitted: Driving license, Passport, PAN Card, Voter ID, Aadhaar UID, College ID, Employee identification card, or a notarized affidavit with Photo, Signature, Date of Birth and Residential Address. The details of this ID proof have to be given while filling the online application.
- Numerical Answer Type Questions: The question paper for GATE 2017 will consist of questions of both multiple-choice type and numerical answer type. For multiple choice type questions, candidates have to choose the answer from the given choices. For numerical answer type questions, choices will not be given. Candidates have to enter a number as the answer using a virtual keypad.

Regular Classroom Programs
These are very comprehensive programmes which run over the span of 4-6 months depending on the course. Under these programmes the classes are conducted 4-6 hrs per day for 5 to 6 days in a week. The class schedules are designed in a manner that every student in the class gets equal opportunity to learn and apply.
As the understanding level of all the students in a class may not be uniform, we try to distinguish weaker so called average students in the class and work over them. For such students we have developed Basic Building Measures (BBM) which has two components :
1. BBM- Tests : After 2-3 lectures on any topic the academy offers a test to all the students. This test (Called BBM Test) contains very basic and fundamental questions about that topic. The performances over this test are analyzed comprehensively and on the basis of their performance, those students are identified who could not cross minimum thresh hold and requires extra care.
2. BBM Classes : The students Identified by BBM tests are clubbed into various groups and dedicated faculty are assigned to each group. These groups are given extra classes (BBM Classes). In these classes, this faculty helps the students clear their doubts and concept so that they too can equally participate in the regular classes along with the so called average plus students.
The RCPs of All India Mathematics are complete in its nature. In the span of almost half a year we try to bridge the gap between your degree and learning so that you can appear in any competitive exam of your eligibility and interest.
