GATE 2022 official website has been made available to students by its organising institute the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. IIT Kharagpur launched the official website today, and students may now access the posters and detailed GATE 2022 information brochure from the website. The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in engineering and science for admission into the master's program and recruitment by some public sector companies.

This time, two new papers namely Geomatics Engineering (GE) and Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (NM) have also been introduced. The paper on Geomatics Engineering consists of the General Aptitude (GA) section of 15 Marks as applicable for all papers of GATE 2022, and Part B contains two optional sections: Section I and Section II. Candidates have to choose any one of these during the examination.

Likewise, the paper on Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering consists of the General Aptitude (GA) section of 15 Marks as well, and the rest of the paper will have 85 marks covering the syllabus.
