GATE or the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering in an All-Indian scale examination conducted in the eight zones of the country by the GATE committee that consists of esteemed IISc, Bangalore and seven IITs and on behalf of the National Coordinating board- GATE, Department of Education, Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India.

Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering is conducted to identify commendable aspirants for getting admission to varied post graduate courses such as Engineering, Technology, Architecture and Pharmacy at the National level.

GATE is a mandatory qualification for admission in many post-graduate engineering colleges as well as institutions across the country. After qualifying for GATE, students find ways to get admission with attractive scholarships in assistantship post-graduate courses in engineering, technology, architecture, pharmacy at engineering colleges, institutes located in the length and breadth of the country.

Additionally, for colleges of their choice, candidates need to find out the procedure of final selection and award of assistantship from the allied institution. Also, those who clear GATE successfully are also eligible foe junior research fellowship in CSIR Laboratories.

One can take up GATE, as post graduate degree in engineering leads to further specialization in the certain field. Obviously after M.Tech students get an opportunity to pursue Ph.D. Masters degree is beneficial for those who further Research positions in educational as well as R&D institutes. Those who are in 3rd year of their study or those who are appearing for Final year must sit for GATE as the results for GATE are valid for 2 years and the required syllabus of GATE is over within 5 semesters.

IIT students are hit hard due to the economic slowdown. This resulted in very bad response for placements. In the first round of placements at the IITs saw a lukewarm response with a 60% cut in recruitments compared to last year. FMCG companies, investment banking firms and private oil companies have radically cut their recruitment numbers.

IIT Roorkee                    15     85

IIT Bombay                   70   120

IIT Delhi                        80   125
In IIT Roorkee, the number hired on the first day fell from 70 to 15. Bombay fared slightly better, with 70 hired on the first day this year compared to 120 last year. IIT Delhi has fared the best, with 48 pre placement offers, and a placement of 80 students on the first day as opposed to 125 last year.

However with the situation becoming better the institutes are hoping to receive an average of at least 200 companies in the days to come.

The Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) is going to organize a Student Symposium on “Research in Civil Engineering”, which would held at IIT Madras, Chennai on 5-6 March, 2009.
This symposium is giving research scholars a good opportunity to present their research to the national audience including experts from universities, research centers and industry. However it is hoped that this activity will enable closer interaction between budding technologists and scientists of the country.
The proceedings of the symposium will take place at IIT Madras campus
