GATE PSU Recruitment 2025: The notification for PSU Recruitment through GATE 2025 has been released by few PSUs. Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) are organisations owned by the Government of India or state governments that operate like private businesses and share profits with the respective governments. Every year, PSU Recruitment through GATE is held to fill various technical positions in these organisations based on the candidates' performance in the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE).

PSUs will begin recruiting through GATE 2025 after the results. Aspiring candidates should check the vacancies posted by various PSUs via GATE and apply for jobs that match their qualifications.

Another important point for PSU recruitment through GATE is that these companies will accept the score of the present year only irrespective of the fact that GATE scores are valid for three years. GATE scores are not valid for three years for PSU recruitment.

Candidates also keep in mind that though most of the PSUs consider GATE scores as the basis of direct recruitment some of them also use the scores for shortlisting the candidates only. After being shortlisted, candidates may have to appear in an interview, test or group discussions for final recruitment. For example, under DRDO RAC Recruitment, the GATE score will be used only for shortlisting candidates. After that, a descriptive examination followed by personal interviews will be held for final recruitment.

Q:   Can I appear for GATE after doing Diploma in civil engineering?

A:

Hi Ramesh, GATE is used for applying to M.Tech or ME. After Diploma, you have to apply for engineering (BE). After successful completion of your degree, you can go for M.Tech. So, for applying M.Tech, you have to give entrance exam called GATE. You have to qualify for getting good college. Regards.

Q:   For how many papers can one student apply in GATE 2025?

A:

Students applying for GATE 2025 can opt for two subject papers from the prescribed set of combinations. Earlier, the candidates could apply to appear in only one subject. As a candidate can appear in only two papers (only approved set) of the 30 papers for which the GATE 2025 will be conducted, they must carefully choose the papers they wish to write. A candidate is expected to appear in the papers appropriate to the discipline of his or her qualifying degree. However, he or she is free to choose any paper according to his or her admission plan, keeping in mind the GATE eligibility criteria of the institutions in which he or she wishes to seek admission. For more details regarding the admission criteria at any particular institute, the candidate is advised to refer to the websites of that institute.
