GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) is a national-level entrance exam conducted in India for admission into various postgraduate engineering programs and for recruitment in government organizations. The exam is jointly conducted by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) on behalf of the National Coordination Board (NCB)-GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education (MoE), Government of India. The exam is conducted once a year in February. The next GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) exam is scheduled to be conducted in February 2024 by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur.
