GATE 2016 will be held from January 30, 2016 onwards till February 7, 2016 in multiple sessions. Aspirants who have applied for GATE 2016 will have either applied for pursuing their Masters in Engineering or for recruitment in PSUs that have advertised for graduate engineers on the basis of GATE 2016. PSU Recruitment through GATE has been a catching trend with PSUs increasingly turning to GATE scores for their recruitment of graduate engineers in various disciplines.
GATE 2015 saw more than 30 PSUs including big names like ONGC, BPCL, IOCL, HPCL, NTPC, Air India and more advertising for recruitment of engineers through GATE scores. 18 PSUs have already advertised for recruitment through GATE 2016 scores and more are expected to join in.
This article aims to clear the doubts about PSU recruitment and the GATE scores required for the same on the basis of the information received from the PSUs.
It may however be noted that these cutoff scores are indicative. The Cutoff scores for PSU recruitment depend solely on the company policy and various factors. It is to be understood that the GATE cutoff scores will also differ from discipline to discipline. Another important point to be noted is that some companies have also used their own normalization formula for inviting GATE applicants for the interviews. This article is designed to give all the PSU applicants through GATE Scores an idea about the kind of scores required to be called for an interview and more. It is in no way to be construed as the final Cutoffs for any PSU recruitment.
