From 2013, the GATE score will be computed by a new formula.


This formula is different from the one used earlier. After the declaration of the results, a GATE Scorecard will be issued to all the candidates of a paper whose marks are equal to or above the qualifying marks of SC/ST/PD candidates in that paper. There is no provision for the issue of Additional GATE scorecard.

The GATE 2013 Committee with the NCB’s approval has the authority to decide the qualifying mark for each GATE paper. In case any claim or dispute arises in respect of GATE 2013, it is hereby made absolutely clear that the Courts and Tribunals in Mumbai and Mumbai alone shall have the exclusive jurisdiction to entertain and settle any such dispute or claim.
