The higher education system in India has grown in a remarkable way, particularly in

the post-independence period, to become one of the largest systems of its kind in the

world. In this article we will guide about the opportunities of Higher education in

India as well as abroad.

Higher Education opportunities:

1. India

2. Abroad

India

After graduation the next step is getting masters degree like MBA, M.Tech,

M.E., and after that if one is enthusiastic then they can go for Ph.d. The possible way

is called Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). It is conducted jointly by

the Indian Institute of Science and seven Indian Institutes of Technology (Bombay,

Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) on behalf of the

National Coordination Board, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human

Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India. The scores are useful for

application to masters programs in engineering discipline in India. This score is also

considered by the Public Sector Companies as criteria for selection. Any graduate

who cleared their bachelor or masters or is in the final year of his/her respective

course is eligible for GATE.

Exam Pattern

The exam consists of single paper of 3 hours exam duration, containing 65

questions carrying maximum of 100 marks. Examination for all the papers is carried

out in an online Computer Based Test (CBT) mode where the candidates are shown

the questions in a random sequence on a computer screen. The questions consist of

both multiple choice questions (four answer options out of which the correct one has

to be chosen) and numerical answer type questions (answer is a real number, to be

entered via an on-screen keypad and computer mouse). Candidates are provided with

blank paper sheets for rough work and these have to be returned after the

examination. At the end of the 3-hour window of the computer automatically closes

the screen from further actions. The syllabus is typically related to the engineering

course for which one applies. Public Sector Companies like Maharatna and Navaratna

Companies give the preference to the GATE score, so apart from being a ticket to

higher education, it’s also helpful in landing up at the dream job.

GATE results are usually declared about one month after the examinations are

over. The results show the total marks scored by a candidate, the GATE score, the

all-India rank and the cut off marks for various categories in the candidate's paper.

The score is valid for 3 years from the date of announcement of the results. The score

cards are issued only to qualified candidates.

The following is the formula for calculating the normalized marks, for CE, CS, EC,

EE and ME subjects.

Normalized mark

(︿Mij) of jth candidate in ith session, is given by ︿Mij = Mgt - Mg

q/ Mti - Miq ( Mij - Miq ) + Mgq

where,

P a g e | 4 Higher Education Cell

Mij is the actual marks obtained by the jth candidate in the ith session,

Mgt is the average marks of the top 0.1 % candidates in all sessions of that

subject,

Mgq is the sum of mean and standard deviation of marks of all candidates in all

sessions of that subject,

Mti is the average of marks of top 0.1 % candidates in the ith session of that

subject,

Miq is the sum of mean and standard deviation of marks of all candidates in the

ith session of that subject.

Eligibility

Bachelor’s degree holders in Engineering/ Technology/ Architecture (4 years

after 10+2/ Post-B.Sc./ Post-Diploma) and those who are in the final year of

such programs.

Page 5: Excel Group Institutions Higher Education Cell Group Institutions P a g e | 1 Higher Education Cell Higher Education Cell Training & Placement Excel ... Guwahati, Kanpur,

P a g e | 5 Higher Education Cell

Master’s degree holders in any branch of Science/ Mathematics/ Statistics/

Computer Applications or equivalent and those who are in the final year of

such programs.

Candidates in the second or higher year of Four-year integrated master's degree

programs (Post-B.Sc.) in Engineering/ Technology.

Candidates in the fourth or higher year of Five-year integrated master's degree

programs or Dual Degree programs in Engineering/Technology.

Candidates with qualifications obtained through examinations conducted by

professional societies recognized by UPSC/AICTE (e.g. AMIE by iE(i),

AMICE(i) by the institute of Civil Engineers (India)-iCE(i)) as equivalent to

B.E./B.Tech.

Choose the way after GATE:

1. Higher Education (Post graduation): Post graduation is mandatory for those

wishing to apply for research positions in R&D centers in India and abroad. GATE

also gives an opportunity to pursue their studies in prestigious IITs, even if they

couldn’t do the same at the under graduate level. Students who qualify in GATE are

entitled to a stipend of `8,000 per month during their M.Tech course.

2. Research Fellowship: Candidates who qualify GATE are also taken in as research

fellows in various institutes as reputed faculty members. The tenure as a research

fellow helps in maintaining the continuity in studies for those who didn’t get their

desired institute or field of study. It simultaneously adds value to the individual’s

academic record as research work experience which directly helps in higher studies.

The candidate also gets remunerations during research fellowship that is equivalent to

the scholarship.

Job opportunities in Public Sector Units through GATE:

Several PSUs these days are employing candidates with good GATE scores. BHEL,

IOCL, ONGC, SAIL, NTPC, HPCL, PGCIL, BARC and over 200 more PSUs

present in the country consider GATE scores as a satisfactory criterion to recruit

engineers to their bastions. A job in a PSU ensures you keep in touch with exciting

engineering advances while enjoying the security and perks of a Govt. Salary. You can

also rise through the ranks soon, and work on some very exciting development

projects in the country.

Sponsorship Opportunities:

If you are lucky enough to work with government bodies like DRDO, ISRO, BARC,

Doordarshan, IAF, INDIAN NAVY and Army etc, a good GATE score will make

you eligible for their sponsorship programs which run for two years. The sponsorship

comes with a caveat that you need to work for the organization for a few years after

completing the M Tech, but that is but a minor matter when compared to the

benefits you derive with your valid GATE scores.

CAT, GMAT AND GRE:

CAT, GMAT and GRE assess the potential of candidates interested in applying to

various graduate programs (Master’s and Doctoral). A candidate interested in

pursuing management education (or equivalent) in India takes the CAT, while a

candidate interested in pursuing management education abroad or in premier Indian

b-schools takes the GMAT. GRE is used by Universities/colleges for admission to

their Masters in Sciences programmes.

CAT score is a mandatory requirement for admission into the Indian Institutes of Management and affiliate b-schools/universities in India (http://time4education.com/List_of_B-Schools.asp).

GMAT score is accepted by more than 6000 programs at approximately 1700 Universities and organisations across the globe (http://www.mba.com/india/the-gmat-exam/about-the-gmat-exam/schools-value-the-gmat/gmat-accepting-programs.aspx), including 120 b-schools in India.

GRE score is accepted by thousands of graduate and business schools across the globe (http://www.ets.org/s/gre/pdf/gre_aidi_fellowships.pdf).

While the GMAT has traditionally been used by b-schools as part of their admissions

process, GRE scores are also being accepted by some of the b-schools for their MBA

programs (http://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/about/mba/programs/).

CAT VS GMAT VS GRE:

The skills tested on the three tests are those that the candidate has developed over a

period of time – especially skills developed during high school education. Hence, the

skills tested on the three tests are by far the same, but the depth of understanding of

concepts and the manner in which the concepts are tested varies from one test to the

other.

Writing: Writing skills are not tested in the CAT. Both the GMAT and the GRE

have an Analytical Writing (AW) section. The GMAT has one writing task while the

GRE has two writing tasks.

Verbal ability/reasoning:

Critical Reasoning: Critical Reasoning has not been a significant area in the CAT in

recent years. In the GMAT, about 30% of questions in the Verbal Ability section are

a test of Critical Reasoning. In the GRE, Critical Reasoning is tested (though not

titled as such) and toned-down when compared to the GMAT Critical Reasoning.

Sentence Correction: Sentence Correction questions that come in the GMAT are of

a different flavor when compared to those in the CAT. In the GMAT, the emphasis

is not only on the functional aspects of grammar, but also on contextual meaning,

effective writing and usage. There are specific error types that are looked at in the

GMAT. The GRE does not have Sentence Correction question types.

Reading Comprehension: Reading Comprehension passages and question types in

the CAT and the GMAT are quite similar. The GRE Reading Comprehension

question types are different. The candidate may be asked to select on-screen a text in

the passage that answers a particular question.

Vocabulary: Out-of-context vocabulary testing has more or less been eliminated in

the CAT. Vocabulary is tested in context in 'Fill in the Blanks' question types or in

identifying a synonym of a word in a Reading Comprehension passage. The GMAT

does not test vocabulary. The GRE though vocabulary-intensive, does not test out-

of-context vocabulary. Certain GRE question types require candidates to select words

that fit into a respective blank in a text and other question types require candidates to

select multiple answer choices for a blank.

Other Verbal Ability: Paragraph questions (formation, completion, summary or

odd-man-out), appropriate usage of a word are other Verbal ability questions that are

tested only in the CAT.

Quantitative ability/reasoning and date interpretation/integrated reasoning:

The quantitative ability in CAT is relatively more difficult when compared to GMAT

or GRE. Both CAT and GMAT require the candidate to select only one answer for a

question, GRE requires the candidate to select multiple answers or type-in an answer

in certain question types.

While all the three tests have questions on Data Interpretation, GMAT has a section

called Integrated Reasoning. Both the CAT and the GRE test the candidate's ability

to interpret data quantitatively, GMAT in its Integrated Reasoning section also tests

Page 10: Excel Group Institutions Higher Education Cell Group Institutions P a g e | 1 Higher Education Cell Higher Education Cell Training & Placement Excel ... Guwahati, Kanpur,

Excel Group Institutions

P a g e | 10 Higher Education Cell

the candidate's ability to interpret data qualitatively. The GMAT also has four

different question types in the Integrated Reasoning section.

CAT is a linear Computer Based Test. GMAT is an adaptive test - in an adaptive test

like the GMAT, the candidate must answer every question that comes on the screen

to get to the next question, whose level of difficulty depends on whether the

candidate marked the previous question correctly. Unlike in the CAT, in the GMAT,

the candidate will not be allowed to skip a question or to go back to an already

submitted question. This makes time management in GMAT quite tricky. GRE is a

section adaptive test - the level of difficulty of one section depends on the overall

performance of the candidate in the corresponding previous section.

The table below charts the differences among the three tests.
