Dear aspirants,

Anyone can write GATE through Engineering Science (XE) And its easy to crack GATE through this stream because there are many options to choose from the given topics. But it has some disadvantage like you can only apply for Masters/direct Phd . Its totally depends on the candidates choice.If he/she wants to join the Masters/Phd then its fine but for the Psu they will not be eligible. The number of candidates appearing for this stream are less as compared to the other streams so there are more chances of getting prestigious colleges like IISC/IITs.

These are the available sections for GATE Engineering Science(XE),

XE – G: Food Technology

XE – H: Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences

A candidate appearing in the XE paper has to answer the following:

• GA – General Aptitude carrying a total of 15 marks.

• Section A – Engineering Mathematics (Compulsory): This section contains 11 questions carrying a total of 15 marks: 7 questions carrying 1-mark each (sub-total 7 marks), and 4 questions carrying 2-marks each (sub-total 8 marks). Some questions may be of numerical answer type.
