GATE Exam Statistics: Number of Candidates appearing


You can find below the number of candidates who appeared in GATE from GATE 2008 to GATE 2015 as below:

Number of Candidates appearing from GATE 2008 to GATE 2015
Excepting for last two years in which number of candidates appearing in GATE has gone down marginally compared to GATE 2013, the numbers has increased exponentially from GATE 2009 onwards. Do you know why? It is because, from GATE 2009,  PSUs have started recruiting with GATE scores. Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL) was the first company which recruited through GATE 2009. The number of PSU organisations recruiting through GATE has increased to 15 in GATE 2015.


GATE Exam Statistics: Success Rate in GATE


Do you have some idea about how many out of 100 of those who appeared in GATE  exam each year qualifies in the exam? Let me tell you it is about 15. Yes, approx. 15% is the success rate in GATE. I have compiled the number of candidates which appeared in GATE vs. those who qualified for last four years and you can find the same below:
Success Rate in GATE Exam

As you can find from above, the success rate is about 15% in GATE (to be precise, the average of these last four years GATE exam is 15.39%).

GATE Exam Statistics: Success Rate in GATE

Another GATE Exam Statistics is how many out of those who succeeds in GATE are male, how many female. You can find this numbers of candidates below:
Male-Female Success Rate in GATE Exam
As you can find above, male candidates fared a little better than their female counterparts.

GATE Exam Statistics: Branch-wise candidates

Which are the most favourite branches among GATE candidates? You would be surprised to know that although GATE is held for 23 branches of Engineering & Science, there are five branches which accounts for more than 85% of candidates. Which are they? These most popular GATE branches are:
1). Electronics and Communication Engineering (EC)
2). Computer Science and Information Technology (CS)
3). Mechanical Engineering (ME)
4). Electrical Engineering (EE)
5). Civil Engineering (CE)

You can find these Branch-wise number of candidates in GATE Exam for last 6 years the table below:
Branch-wise number of candidates in GATE Exam
But than, as you can see above, these numbers does not depicts the actual picture readily. Therefore I have found out the Branch-wise %age of candidates in the table below:
Branch-wise percentage of candidates
This gives you the actual picture: as you can see, these five branches attracts huge number of GATE aspirants - the average figure for last 6 years is 85.89%.  If you see more minutely, you would find that out of them, the two branches EC & CS constitutes more than 45% of total number of candidates in GATE exam.

So that is all for now. Hope you have learnt about GATE exam in more detail with above statistics. As said you in the beginning, these GATE Exam Statistics would not help you in your preparation for the exam, but it is definitely going to help you get mentally ready for the competition!
