1. Introduction
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all Inuia examination that
piimaiily tests the compiehensive unueistanuing of the canuiuate in vaiious
unueigiauuate subjects in EngineeiingTechnologyAichitectuie anu postgiauuate
level subjects in Science. The uATE scoie of a canuiuate ieflects a ielative peifoimance
level in a paiticulai subject in the exam acioss seveial yeais. The scoie is useu foi
aumissions to postgiauuate piogiams (e.g., N.E., N.Tech, uiiect Ph.B.) in Inuian

6.1 GATE Score
Aftei the evaluation of the answeis, the iaw maiks obtaineu by a canuiuate will be conveiteu to
a noimalizeu uATE Scoie.
Fiom 2u1S onwaius, the uATE scoie of a canuiuate is being computeu using the
foimula given below.
Calculation of Normalized Marks for CE, CS, EC, EE and ME papers (multi-session papers)
In 2015, examination for CE, CS, EC, EE and ME papers will be conducted in multi-sessions. Hence, for
these papers, a suitable normalization is applied to take into account any variation in the difficulty levels
of the question papers across different sessions. The normalization is done based on the fundamental
assumption that "in all multi-session GATE papers, the distribution of abilities of candidates is the same
across all the sessions". This assumption is justified since the number of candidates appearing in multi-
session papers in GATE 2015 is large and the procedure of allocation of session to candidates is random.
Further it is also ensured that for the same multi-session paper, the number of candidates allotted in each
session is of the same order of magnitude.
Based on the above, and considering various normalization methods, the committee arrived at the
following formula for calculating the normalized marks, for CE, CS, EC, EE and ME papers.
Normalization mark of ]

H

H

t
g
: is the average marks of the top 0.1% of the candidates considering all sessions
H
q
g
: is the sum of mean and standard deviation marks of the candidates in the paper considering all
sessions
H

t
: is the average marks of the top 0.1% of the candidates in the i
th
session
H
q
: is the sum of the mean marks and standard deviation of the i
th
session
After the evaluation of the answers, normalized marks based on the above formula will be calculated
corresponding to the raw marks obtained by a candidate for CE, CS, EC, EE and ME papers and the
GATE 2015 Score will be calculated based on the normalized marks.
For all other papers, actual marks obtained will be used for calculating the GATE 2015 Score.
Calculation of GATE Score for all papers
GATE 2015 score will be calculated using the formula
74
0AIE Scorc = S
q
+ (S

-S

)
(H -H
q
)
(H

- H

In the above formulae
H: marks obtained by the candidate (actual marks for single session papers and normalized marks for
multi-session papers)
H
q
: is the qualifying marks for general category candidate in the paper
H

t
: is the mean of marks of top 0.1% or top 10 (whichever is larger) of the candidates who appeared in
the paper (in case of multi-session papers including all sessions)
S
q
: 350, is the score assigned to H
q

S
t
: 900, is the score assigned to H

t

In the GATE 2015 score formula, H
q
is usually 25 marks (out of 100) or +o , whichever is larger. Here p
is the mean and o is the standard deviation of marks of all the candidates who appeared in the paper.
After the declaration of the results, GATE Score Cards will be issued (mailed to the Correspondence
address given in the application) to (a) All SC/ST/PwD candidates whose marks are greater than or equal
to the qualifying mark of SC/ST/PwD candidates in their respective papers, and (b) All other candidates
whose marks are greater than or equal to the qualifying mark of OBC (NCL) candidates in their
respective papers. There is no provision for the issue of additional GATE Score Cards.
The GATE 2015 Committee has the authority to decide the qualifying mark/score for each GATE
paper. In case any claim or dispute arises in respect of GATE 2015, it is hereby made absolutely clear
that the Courts and Tribunals in Allahabad and Allahabad alone shall have the exclusive jurisdiction
to entertain and settle any such dispute or claim.
