PSU Job Preparation

What are the PSU recruiting through GATE?

Almost all the PSU companies mentioned above recruit candidates through the GATE exam.

In India, PSU companies are accepting the scores of the Gratitude Aptitude Test of Engineering (GATE) to recruit candidates in various posts of Engineering.

To get into the PSU companies, you have to crack the GATE exam with a really good rank. And the competition is always high.

What is the eligibility criteria for PSU through GATE?

As most of the PSUs give calls based on the GATE rank. Every year GATE exam is carried out in the last week of February or the first week of March.

You can expect the recruitment notification in March, April, and May; after the GATE exams.

For some of the PSUs, you have to apply online before the GATE exam itself. So keep the watch on it.
