5: How you measure the GATE Score?
The results are declared in the form of a percentile score calculated as follows:
If the total number of examinees in a given
discipline is, say 5940, and the number of examinees who have secured
marks less than the candidate is, say 5830, then the percentile score
of the candidate is: (5830 / 5940) x 100 =98.15
This score ceases to be valid after March 31st
of the second year following the year of declaration of GATE results.
The score becomes valid only after the candidate completes all
requirements of the qualifying degree.
