Hi Friends,
So we are a junction of What to do next after Bachelors ? Some times its tough selecting the option[s] (hope I have listed most),
I will try to cover some details on Higher Education ( Engineering ) in India.
Few Universities offer:
GATE
GATE 2014 , all exams are online, have Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) and few numerical answers to be keyed in. The applications process starts from September 2 2013 , exams are in February through March and results on March 28 2014.
The syllabus for GATE covers Engineering Mathematics, and most of engineering Second and Third year subjects.
MORE INFORMATION ON GATE
Great amount of information on preparation, timely updates, links to material can be found at:
OTHER EXAMS
If you are preparing for GATE , then you can also try for exams :
Preparation: Revising counts and more papers you solve the better. Make up a schedule and try keeping up with it.
Or
Join coaching institution, One Benefit we get here is coaching institution sticks to their schedule so in turn we get to cover more topics.

So we are a junction of What to do next after Bachelors ? Some times its tough selecting the option[s] (hope I have listed most),
- Job in company (Private, Public Sectors, Government - through IES , Banks - IBPS)
- Teaching post in Academics ( believe me its getting tough without a Masters )
- Self employment
- Pursue Higher Education
I will try to cover some details on Higher Education ( Engineering ) in India.
Few Universities offer:
- Masters
- Integrated PhD (MTech and Phd ; MSc and PhD)
- PhD ( few consider under graduates for admissions, course work is rigorous though, General Information ( then Computer Science related ) on Ph.D. Programs )
GATE
For admissions to Masters in Sciences and Engineering one of benchmark exam is GATE (Applications in month of September, Exam in month of February) , Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering. Its conducted by IISc and seven IITs.
GATE 2014 , all exams are online, have Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) and few numerical answers to be keyed in. The applications process starts from September 2 2013 , exams are in February through March and results on March 28 2014.
- Most Universities in India consider GATE score for admissions or as eligibility criteria for Masters
- Few PSUs recruit based on GATE score
- Few State PGCETs also consider GATE score for admissions
The syllabus for GATE covers Engineering Mathematics, and most of engineering Second and Third year subjects.
