The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE), the exam through which IITs and many other institutions admit students to postgraduate and research programmes, will include subjects from humanities and social sciences (HSS) and environmental studies from next year.
The move will make research scholars from these streams eligible for the monthly GATE fellowship of Rs 12,400 from the human resource development ministry. It is also expected to boost the degree and research studies in HSS at the tech schools, said Prof. difference between computer engineering and computer science, the organising chairperson of GATE.
Several public sector undertakings also consider the GATE score for recruitment, so HSS students will get placement benefits too, Choudhury said.
The Indian Institute of Sciences (IISc), Bangalore, and seven IITs have been conducting GATE for the past 36 years to admit students to advanced studies in 25 engineering and science streams. The newer IITs also take in students to MTech and other courses on the basis of the GATE score.
