How is the number of GATE attempts affected for candidates who have qualified but did not take admission in the past?

Greetings from Bansal Academy!

The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) allows candidates to attempt the exam multiple times, regardless of whether they have qualified or not in the previous attempts. The number of GATE attempts is not affected by whether a candidate has qualified but did not take admission in the past.

Here are the key points regarding the number of GATE attempts:

1. Unlimited Attempts:

   • GATE does not impose a limit on the number of times a candidate can attempt the exam. Candidates are allowed to appear for GATE as many times as they wish, provided they meet the eligibility criteria.

2. Validity of GATE Score:

   • While there is no restriction on the number of attempts, it's essential to note that the validity of the GATE score is limited. The GATE score is typically valid for three years from the date of the announcement of the results.

3. Qualification Criteria:

   • The qualification criteria for GATE is based on the marks obtained in the exam. Even if a candidate has qualified in the past but did not take admission, they can attempt GATE again to improve their score or for admission to postgraduate programs.

4. Eligibility Criteria:

   • Candidates are advised to check and meet the eligibility criteria specified in the GATE notification for the year in which they plan to appear. Meeting the eligibility criteria is essential for successful registration and participation in the exam.

It's important for candidates to keep track of the GATE score validity and plan their attempts accordingly based on their academic and career goals.
