GATE Score Card

GATE Score Card

After the declaration of the results, candidates can download their GATE 2015 Score Card for the paper (for which he/she has taken the examination). The score cards will be issued for only those candidates whose marks are equal to or above the qualifying marks of SC/ST/PwD candidates in that paper. The GATE 2015 score cards can be downloaded between March 27, 2015 to May 29, 2015 and for that the candidate should access the zonal websites from where he/she has taken the GATE 2015 examination.

The GATE 2015 Committee has the authority to decide the qualifying mark/score for each GATE paper. In case any claim or dispute arises in respect of GATE 2015, it is hereby made absolutely clear that the Courts and Tribunals in Allahabad and Allahabad alone shall have the exclusive jurisdiction to entertain and settle any such dispute or claim.



Calculation of GATE 2015 Score

Calculation of Normalized Marks for CE, CS, EC, EE and ME papers

In 2015, examination for CE, CS, EC, EE and ME papers is being held in multi-sessions. Hence, for these papers, a suitable normalization is applied to take into account any variation in the difficulty levels of the question papers across different sessions. The normalization is done based on the fundamental assumption that "in all multi-session GATE papers, the distribution of abilities of candidates is the same across all the sessions". This assumption is justified since the number of candidates appearing in multi-session papers in GATE 2015 is large and the procedure of allocation of session to candidates is random. Further it is also ensured that for the same multi-session paper, the number of candidates allotted in each session is of the same order of magnitude.

Based on the above, and considering various normalization methods, the committee arrived at the following formula for calculating the normalized marks, for CE, CS, EC, EE and ME papers. 

Normalized Mark of jth candidate in ith session Mˆij is given by:
Mˆij=MˉgtMgqMˉtiMiq(MijMiq)+Mgq
where,

Mij is the actual marks obtained by the jth candidate in ith session

Mˉgt is the average marks of the top 0.1% of the candidates considering all sessions

Mgq is the sum of mean and standard deviation marks of the candidates in the paper considering all sessions

Mˉti is the average marks of the top 0.1% of the candidates in the ith session

Miq is the sum of the mean marks and standard deviation of the ith session

After the evaluation of the answers, normalized marks based on the above formula will be calculated corresponding to the raw marks obtained by a candidate for CE, CS, EC, EE and ME papers and the GATE 2015 Score will be calculated based on the normalized marks. For all other papers, actual marks obtained will be used for calculating the GATE 2015 Score. 
Calculation of GATE Score for all papers

GATE 2015 score will be calculated using the formula;
GATEScore=Sq+(StSq)(MMq)(MˉtMq)
In the above formula;

M= marks obtained by the candidate (actual marks for single session papers and normalized marks for multi-session papers)

Mq= is the qualifying marks for general category candidate in the paper

Mˉt= is the mean of marks of top 0.1% or top 10 (whichever is larger) of the candidates who appeared in the paper (in case of multi-session papers including all sessions)

Sq= 350, is the score assigned to Mq

St= 900, is the score assigned to Mˉt

In the GATE 2015 score formula, 
Mq is usually 25 marks (out of 100) or Î¼+σ, whichever is larger. Here Î¼ is the mean and Ïƒ is the standard deviation of marks of all the candidates who appeared in the paper.

After the declaration of the results, GATE Score Cards will be downloadable to (a) All SC/ST/PwD candidates whose marks are greater than or equal to the qualifying mark of SC/ST/PwD candidates in their respective papers, and (b) All other candidates whose marks are greater than or equal to the qualifying mark of OBC (NCL) candidates in their respective papers. There is no provision for the issue of additional GATE Score Cards.

The GATE 2015 Committee has the authority to decide the qualifying mark/score for each GATE paper. In case any claim or dispute arises in respect of GATE 2015, it is hereby made absolutely clear that the Courts and Tribunals in Allahabad and Allahabad alone shall have the exclusive jurisdiction to entertain and settle any such dispute or claim.
