Top State PG Engineering Entrance Exams
A Career is a Life
introduction
The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is the most important PG entrance test in the
country for the post graduate courses in engineering. Almost all the states run universities and colleges accept the GATE scores. In addition to GATE, some states conduct their own entrance exams
for the admissions to the M.Tech/ M.E courses. These entrance exams are for those students who
have not appeared for GATE or have not obtained the qualifying marks in GATE. The preference in
admissions in these states is also for the GATE qualified students but the vacancies after the GATE
admissions are for the students who have qualified in these entrance exams.
Careers360 takes a look at the various entrance exams held by some of the states in the country
for the admissions to the PG engineering courses. Candidates may note that admissions to the PG
courses in other states apart from the ones mentioned in this book are through GATE. The admission
details for such states are not dealt in this book.
Wishing the PG aspirants of these state PG Entrance Exams all the very best!
