GATE Exam 2010 Result
GATE exam Score
Scorecard will be sent only to the qualified candidates. No information will be sent to candidates who are not qualified.
The GATE Scorecard is a valuable document.
The Scorecard cannot be treated as a proof of date of birth, category and disability status.
The Scorecard will indicate GATE Score and Rank of the Qualified Candidates.
GATE Score
The GATE Score of a candidate is in the range 0 to 1000. It reflects the performance of a candidate, irrespective of the GATE paper or year in which he/she has qualified. Candidates with same GATE Score from different GATE papers and/or years can be considered to have the same performance level.
The marks obtained by the candidate is normalized on the basis of the average and standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on the scorecard in GATE. Subsequently, this is scaled with respect to the global average and global standard deviation so as to facilitate performance comparison across GATE papers and over a block of years since GATE 2004.
GATE SCORE :Formula For GATE Score is as given
Where
m = marks obtained by the candidate.
a = average of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard in GATE for that year
s = standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard in GATE for that year
= global average of marks of all candidates who appeared across all papers and years (2005-2008)
= global standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared across all papers and years (2005-2008)
GATE Percentile Score
The percentile score of a candidate indicates the percentage of candidates who appeared in the same paper and scored less marks than him/her. It is calculated as follows: If N is the total number of candidates appearing in a paper, then the percentile score P is given as,
P = (number of candidates who have scored less marks than the candidate / N) x 100
The Maximum Score can be 1000.
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 evaluation of the ORS is carried out by a computerized process using scanning machines, with utmost care. Requests for revaluation of the answer script and re-totaling of marks will not be entertained.
The GATE result and particulars of the qualified candidates will be made available to interested organizations (educational institutions, R & D laboratories, industries, etc.) in India and abroad based on written request by the organization and on payment. Details can be obtained from GATE Chairmen of IITs/IISc.
