GATE 2022: Scorecard (Released), Exam Date, Pattern, Counselling
The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering or GATE is a national level entrance examination mandatory for admission to postgraduate & doctoral courses offered by MHRD supported institutes and other government colleges like IITs, IISc, NITs, and GFTIs. GATE comes under the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD). It is conducted by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, and seven IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, and Roorkee) on a rotation basis on behalf of the National Coordination Board (NCB). IIT Kharagpur will be the exam conducting authority for the GATE 2022 exam.
Candidates who are looking forward to joining the NITs, IITs, IIITs, IISc, and GFTIs must appear for the GATE exam. Candidates who successfully clear the exam will be eligible for admission to postgraduate and doctoral courses at IITs, IISc, PSU jobs, and financial assistance scholarships by the Ministry of Education. Candidates must note that the GATE score is eligible for three years.
Apart from this, many Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) like GAIL, BHEL, IOCL, ONGC, NTPC, etc. use the GATE exam score for their recruitment process. Recently, even the Cabinet Secretariat has started utilising the GATE score for the recruitment of candidates under Group ‘A’ category, for the post of SRO (Senior Research Officer) and SFO (Senior Field Officer).
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering is conducted for 29 subjects including the two new subjects viz. Humanities and Social Science (XH) and Environmental Engineering (ES). Candidates from Commerce and Arts backgrounds could also appear for the GATE exam. Keep a check on this page for all updates regarding GATE 2022.

- Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ): MCQs are objective types and carry 1 or 2 marks each in all the papers and sections. The candidates will have a choice of 4 answers. They will have to choose the correct one. However, there will be negative marking for every wrong answer. 1/3rd marks will be deducted for an incorrect answer.
- Numerical Answer Type (NAT): Unlike MCQs, NAT questions require the candidates to use the virtual numeric keypad given on the computer screen. However, the candidates will have no choices like MCQs. They need to enter a number like 10 or -10 or 10.1 or 10.01 or 10.001. There will be “no negative marking for a wrong answer in NAT questions”.

Let’s elaborate on each step to understand further
# Step 1: Register on the GOAPS Website
GATE aspirants must access the GATE Online Application Processing System (GOAPS) website and register themselves. GOAPS provides an “online interface to the candidate for interacting with the GATE administration” to complete the registration process. The official website for the 2022 exam is https://gate.iitkgp.ac.in/. The GOAPS portal can be accessed through the official website.

GOAPS Password: Choose a strong password while registering at GOAPS. Not only are candidates encouraged to remember the password, but also they are advised to keep it “safe, secure and confidential”.
# Step 2: Fill in the Online Application Form
The next stage involves filling in the online application form and submission of the same at GOAPS.
- Personal information – the name of the candidate, mobile number, date of birth, the name of the parents’ and their mobile numbers. (The aspirants must ensure that the name should “exactly be the same as that in the qualifying degree certificate” and shouldn’t have any prefix or title such as Mrs/ Dr/ Mr/ Shri/ Smt, etc.)
# Step 3: Upload the Required Documents
Once the registration process is over and the form has all the important information filled, the candidates ensure that they have the following documents for filling the application form –
- GATE Paper (Subject)
- Eligibility Degree details
- Address with PIN
- College name and address with PIN

- Valid ID proof
- Details for free payment (credit card/ debit card/ net-banking)
The above details need to be provided/ entered/ submitted/ uploaded in the online application form. “The GOAPS portal is self-explanatory”; hence, the candidates will not face any difficulty in submitting the form.
Photograph and Signature Requirements (Size, Format and other Specifications) –
Uploading a signature and photograph that fails to meet the prescribed specifications would result in the cancellation of the candidature. This doesn’t stop here for the concerned candidates. They won’t be able to get their money back (no refund).
Here’s what all the GATE aspirants should do while clicking a passport-size photo –
- The photograph of the candidate needs to be of high quality.
- The officials will only need good quality photographs for the GATE scorecard.
- It should be recent and in colour and must match your appearance on the exam day at the exam centre.
- Photographs taken using mobile phones will result in the rejection of the application.
- Ask the studio man to provide your photo in JPEG format with 3.5 cm (width) x 4.5 cm (height). The maximum size for JPEG should be 480X640 in pixels. If the resolution is higher, ask the concerned person to reduce it. The minimum size is 240X320 pixels.
- Check the background and ensure that it must be a light colour or white.
- Your face should cover 35% (minimum) of the area of the photograph with a full face.
- Avoid covering the face with a cloth or avoid wearing a cap or goggles (tinted or dark glasses).
Take a look at the following sample photograph –
Here’s what all the GATE aspirants should do while getting their scanned signature image –
- On an A4-size white paper, you need to draw a rectangular box (2 cm in height X 7 cm in width).
- Use a black or dark blue ink pen and sign within the box. If the signature is in any other colour, it won’t be accepted.
- The signature size should be 70 – 80% of the box size.
- It should be in JEPG format and should be 160 X 560 (maximum) and 80 X 280 (minimum)
- Make sure it is your signature, not by any other person. If it doesn’t match at the time of the exam, the candidature will be disqualified.
Refer to the following image sample -
