About GATE Mathematics

GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) is conducted by IITs for admission to M.Tech/Ph.D. programmes and PSU recruitment. The Mathematics (MA) paper tests deep understanding of pure and applied mathematics at the undergraduate and postgraduate level.

  • Conducted by IITs annually nationally recognised entrance exam
  • Valid for 3 years score accepted across institutions and PSUs
  • Gateway to M.Tech/Ph.D./PSU jobs opens multiple career paths
  • Qualifying score required for JRF eligibility for Junior Research Fellowship
