One Stop GATE Forum: Post Graduate Admission with MHRD Scholorship

Message


   
    A candidate is eligible for Ministry of Human Resource
    Development (MHRD) Scholarship/ Assistantship in
    Engineering/Technology/Architecture/Pharmacy/Sciences at engineering
    colleges/institutes in the country if he/she qualifies in GATE .
    To avail the scholarship, additionally, the candidate must secure admission
    to such a postgraduate programme, as per the prevailing procedure of the
    admitting institution. GATE qualification by itself does not
    guarantee admission. GATE qualified candidates in Engineering
    disciplines are also eligible for the award of the Junior Research
    Fellowship in CSIR Laboratories. Some government organizations prescribe
    GATE qualification as a requirement for applying to the post of a
    Scientist/Engineer.


                                    As per the directives of the Ministry of
                                    Human Resource Development (MHRD), Govt. of
                                    India, the following procedure is
                                    to be adopted for admission to
                                    postgraduate programmes (Master's
                                    and Doctoral) with MHRD
                                    Scholarship/Assistantship . The
                                    GATE performance of the candidate will be
                                    considered for admission. If the candidate
                                    is to be selected through interview for
                                    postgraduate programmes, minimum 70%
                                    weightage is to be given to the GATE
                                    performance . The remaining
                                    weightage (30% maximum) can be given to the
                                    marks obtained by the candidate in his/her
                                    qualifying examination or interview.
                                    Candidates opting for a general paper (XE or
                                    XL) should be further examined (by
                                    interview/written test) by the admitting
                                    institution. In such cases also the
                                    weightage for GATE score should not be less
                                    than 70%. The admitting institution will
