Opportunities after GATE
The biggest question that one must ask from himself before the preparation of any exam is that why one should appear for the exam as that reason itself is the motivation for the exam. GATE is conducted by Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) and it tests the basic understanding of undergraduate subjects.
GATE is jointly conducted by 7 IITs and IISc Bangalore and these institutes are responsible for administrative responsibilities of the exam and not directly concerned with preparing the question paper. This exam is one the most prestigious exam in India and not only because it is conducted by IITs but also because of the plethora of opportunities available after GATE. In this article I wish to let you all know in brief about the opportunities available after GATE.
