All these public sector companies are going to recruit ET (Engineer Trainee) based on GATE scores. At first they would shortlist the candidates based on GATE score and than they would be called for further selection process which consists of GD & Interview.
No wonder therefore, number of applicant in GATE 2012 has touched a mind boggling figure of 11, 39,395. Compare this with number of applicants in GATE 2011: 5, 52,530 & GATE 2010: only 4, 14, 093. Yes, the number of GATE applicants have more than doubled compared to last year. Most of these applicants actually would not go for higher studies, but are appearing in GATE for selections to the PSUs.
It is needless to say that GATE 2012 application form last date is over on 21st October, 2011. If you had not applied for GATE 2012, you can not apply for the ET jobs in these companies. If you do not know what is GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering), please go through my previous blog article titled:
GATE 2012 Notification, Eligibility & Forms.
If you have however applied, you would be able to download your GATE Admit card from 2nd January, 2012 onwards. On this admit card would be printed your GATE-2012 Registration Number. You have to use this Registration Number to apply for the ET jobs in the individual company recruitment websites, the date and link of which has been given below.

Dear Sir,
I saw one of your posts wherein you gave details about recruitment by various PSUS through GATE 2012 scores...would you please kindly inform wherein I can get information where PSUS will be recruiting through GATE-2012 scores....?
It's difficult to keep updated with the various recruitments...so it would be of great help if you could suggest me something on that...?
Also are you also keeping track of all the govt. jobs recruitments....would it be possible that if I susbcribe to your posts and blogs I would get the required information...?
Please Reply...
