  • No semester marks have no impact in the evaluation of Gate rank. Your Gate rank is calculated from your Gate exam marks. For understanding this ,I think you should be clear about three terms :  Gate Rank, Gate Score and Gate Percentile.
    Gate Marks
    Calculated in the same way as marks of any other exam is calculated. In case of GATE you are given +1 or +2 for every correct answer, - 1/3 or -2/3 on every wrong answer and 0 marks for no attempt. (Marking  depends on type of questions and maximum marks of the question). Gate marks are calculated out of 100 and it may even be negative if you have wrongly answered most of the questions.

    Gate Rank
    GATE Rank also called as AIR or All India Rank tells how far are you from top in a particular year and in a particular subject. Every GATE Qualified Candidate is given a GATE Rank. Its an integer number which tells your position in the exam and paper for the year in which you have given the exam. Example AIR-30 in CS-15 means you are at the 30th position from top in Computer Science GATE Exam conducted in year 2015.

Example AIR-40 in CS-16 means you are at the 40th position from top in Computer Science GATE Exam conducted in year 2016.
    Gate Score :GATE score is calculated out of 1000, unlike marks which are out of 100. It is calculated using a formula which can be found on organizing institute's website. In fact, this is the most important term used for admission and in declaring cut off s for call for Interview/Test and admission.
    Gate Percentile:It is the percentage of people behind you (as per rank) in gate exam. The lower your rank is, higher will be the percentile. Toppers percentile is 100 and last rank holders percentile is 0.
    Most of the colleges release their MTech cut off list mentioning Gate Scores.

    Yes , previous year questions some time repeat . But if you solve and practice previous 15 years Gate papers , you will be able to tackle almost all questions in your Gate exam. Because practicing previous year question papers will give you an idea regarding the type of questions that can come in your Gate exam.
    Make sure you are elevating the level of your conceptual clarity by solving questions.
    Also , be ready for new and unexpected questions in your gate exam because for sure all the questions are not repeated and cannot be of same type.

  • Collage grades do not have anything to do with GATE rank.GATE ranks are purely decided by the exam you give for GATE . On this basis you will be called for interview different public sector industries such as NHPC ,BHEL,DRDO etc or you will get collages for M.tech studies Preparation of GATE papers is allowed to one of IITS and it totally depends on them what type of questions or difficulty they set far paper. You can prepare from previous year papers but you should not depend on them and prepare yourself well for every situation
