(Info) Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) : Score & Calculation
The GATE Score of a candidate is in the range 0 to 1000. It reflects the
performance of a candidate, irrespective of the GATE paper or year in which
he/she has qualified. Candidates with same GATE Score from different GATE papers
and/or years can be considered to have the same performance level.
The marks obtained by the candidate are normalized on the basis of the average
and standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper
mentioned on the scorecard in GATE. Subsequently, this is scaled with respect to
the global average and global standard deviation so as to facilitate performance
comparison across GATE papers and over a block of years since GATE 2004.
GATE SCORE :Formula For GATE Score is as given
1000/150[ag+sg(m-a/s)] Where
m = marks obtained by the candidate.
a = average of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on
this scorecard in GATE for that year
s = standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper
mentioned on this scorecard in GATE for that year
ag = global average of marks of all candidates who appeared across all papers
and years (2005-2008)
sg = global standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared across
all papers and years (2005-2008)
GATE Percentile Score
The percentile score of a candidate indicates the percentage of candidates who
appeared in the same paper and scored less marks than him/her. It is calculated
as follows: If N is the total number of candidates appearing in a paper, then
the percentile score P is given as,
P = (number of candidates who have scored less marks than the candidate / N) x
100
The Maximum Score can be 1000.

The evaluation of the ORS is carried out by a computerized process using
scanning machines, with utmost care. Requests for revaluation of the answer
script and re-totaling of marks will not be entertained.
The GATE result and particulars of the qualified candidates will be made
available to interested organizations (educational institutions, R & D
laboratories, industries, etc.) in India and abroad based on written request by
the organization and on payment. Details can be obtained from GATE Chairmen of
IITs/IISc.
