Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE ) is an all-India examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of the candidate in various undergraduate subjects in Engineering/Technology/Architecture and post-graduate level subjects in Science. The GATE score of a candidate reflects a relative performance level in a particular subject in then (this) exam across several years. The score is used for admissions to post-graduate programs (e.g. M.E., M.Tech, direct Ph.D.) in Indian institutes of higher education with financial assistance provided by MHRD and other Government agencies. The score may also be used by Public and Private Sector Undertakings for employment screening purposes. The information in this brochure is mainly categorized into Pre-Examination (Eligibility, Application submission, Examination Centers, etc.), Examination (Syllabus, Pattern, Marks/Score, Model Question Papers, etc.) & Post-Examination (Answers, Results, Scorecard, etc.) sections.

The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs at Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, and Roorkee) jointly administer the conduct of GATE. The operations related to GATE in each of the 8 zones are managed by a zonal GATE Office at the IITs or IISc. The Organizing Institute (OI) is responsible for the end-to-end process and coordination amongst the administering Institutes. The Organizing Institute for GATE 2017 is IISc Banglore.

The application fee and various payment options are shown in the table below. The application fee is non-refundable. All charges given below are in Indian Rupees.

These are very comprehensive programmes which run over the span of 4-6 months depending on the course. Under these programmes the classes are conducted 4-6 hrs per day for 5 to 6 days a week. The class schedules are designed in a manner that every student in the class gets an equal opportunity to learn and apply.

As the understanding level of all the students in a class may not be uniform, we try to distinguish weaker so-called average students in the class and work over them. For such students, we have developed Basic Building Measures (BBM) which has two components

1. BBM- Tests: After 2-3 lectures on any topic the academy offers a test to all the students. This test (Called BBM Test) contains very basic and fundamental questions about that topic. The performances over this test are analyzed comprehensively and on the basis of their performance, those students are identified who could not cross minimum thresh hold and requires extra care.

2. BBM Classes: The students Identified by BBM tests are clubbed into various groups and dedicated faculty are assigned to each group. These groups are given extra classes (BBM Classes). In these classes, this faculty helps the students clear their doubts and concept so that they too can equally participate in the regular classes along with the so-called average plus students.

The RCPs of Rising Star Academy are complete in their nature. In the span of almost half a year, we try to bridge the gap between your degree and learning so that you can appear in any competitive exam of your eligibility and interest.
