Engineering Entrance Exam

Yes, IISc Bangalore, the organizing institute of GATE 2024 has introduced a new subject - Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DA). The syllabus for GATE 2024 DA paper can be downloaded from the website. Last year, Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering (combined) and Geomatics Engineering were added as the new subjects.

GATE exam is conducted for Master of Engineering (ME), Masters in Technology (M.Tech) and direct Ph.D. admissions to IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other institutes or universities across India. It also opens the gateway to PSUs and the field of research. The exam is jointly conducted by IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras, IIT Roorkee, and the Indian Institute for Science, Bangalore (IISC Bangalore) on a rotational basis on behalf of the National Coordination Board (NCB GATE Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource & Development (MHRD), Government of India.

Those candidates who are preparing for the GATE Computer Science Engineering paper should refer to the best GATE Computer Science Engineering books 2025 so that their chances of cracking the entrance exam increase.
