GATE 2024: Exam Pattern
GATE 2024 will include 30 objective test papers, all of which will be in English. Candidates are only permitted to take one or two exam papers. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ), Multiple Select Questions (MSQ), and Numerical Answer Type (NAT) questions are among the different question formats. There is only one right answer in MCQs out of a possible four. In MSQs, one or more of four alternatives are correct and in NAT questions, the answer must be entered via a virtual keypad. For calculations, applicants must only utilise the on-screen virtual calculator offered.
For incorrect responses, a negative marking will be applied which means that for a 1-mark MCQ, a third of the score will be deducted. Similarly, for a 2-mark MCQ, an incorrect answer will result in a 2/3 mark deduction. There is no negative marking for incorrect MSQ and NAT responses.
The GATE 2024 scorecard will be valid for three years after the results are announced. Candidates with BDS, BVSc, and BSc degrees in agriculture, horticulture, and forestry may also sit for the GATE 2024.
