3. GATE Score will be valid for two years. Once again. (confirmed)
4. Now you can give the exam in 3rd year itself.(confirmed)
5. GATE 2010 - Pharmacy still remains unincluded.(confirmed)

There is news that Pharmacy exam will be taken up by AICTE.

6. GATE 2010 examination for Mining Engineering (MN) and Textile Engineering and Fibre Science (TF) papers will be computer based ONLINE examination.

16.clouds of suspicion cleared about GATE 2009

hello friends,

the validity of gate 2009
is only for one year .
but in the detail of eligibility it is written that
pre final year student can also apply.

on saturday i called the GATE OFFICE of roorkee
they said that 3rd year student can only fill the forms and take the exam
as an experience, they can not take admission because the validity of scores are valid only for one year
