(GATE)

GATE Score The GATE score of a candidate is a statistical performance index in the range 0 to 1000. It reflects the ability of a candidate, irrespective of the paper or year in which he/she has qualified. Candidates with same GATE SCORE from different disciplines and/or years can be considered to be of equal ability. The performance index (PI) of a candidate for his/her paper in a given year is defined as: where, m = marks obtained by the candidate. a = average of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard, in the current year. s = standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard, in the current year. To facilitate performance comparison across GATE papers and over a block of years since GATE 2003, this PI is scaled with respect to the global average and global standard deviation. This concept is represented as:

where,

m_g = rescaled marks defined with reference to global average and standard deviation.

a_g = global average of marks of all candidates who appeared across all papers and years (2003-2006).

s_g = global standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared across all papers and years (For example 2003-2006).

Therefore the candidate’s rescaled marks can now be written as:


Considering 150 as the maximum marks in GATE paper, the rescaled marks, m_g, is finally represented as the GATE Score on a 0 to 1000 scale and is given by:


Where,

A typical qualitative interpretation of the GATE SCORE, for example, can be as follows:

GATE Score Range	Ability Level
800 to 1000	Outstanding
675 to 800	Excellent
550 to 675	Very good
425 to 550	Good
300 to 425	Above average
100 to 300	Average
Below 100	Below average

The GATE result and particulars of the qualified candidates are available to interested educational institutions, R and D laboratories, industries etc. in India and abroad based on written request by the organization on payment.

Details can be obtained from Chairpersons of GATE of IITs / IISc.
