Eligibility Criteria for Civil Engineering Companies in India

What eligibility criteria do civil engineering companies in India follow to recruitment?

The GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) is an all-India examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in engineering and science.

GATE is conducted by the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and the seven Indian Institutes of Technology (Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) on behalf of the National Coordination Board – GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India.

The score is used for admissions to post-graduate programs (e.g. Master of Engineering, Master of Technology, and Doctor of Philosophy) and in government agencies. Recently, GATE scores are also being used by several Indian public sector undertakings (i.e., government-owned companies) for recruiting graduate engineers.
