Papers to be discontinued from GATE 2009 onwards
Since 3 papers (EC, EE and IN) are available for candidates with background in Electrical Sciences, and a main paper (CS from GATE 2009 onwards) for candidates in Computer Science, it has been decided to discontinue the offering of Computational Science (currently section B) and Electrical Sciences (currently Section C) in the XE paper with effect from GATE 2009. Candidates are being given a final opportunity to opt for these Sections of XE in GATE 2008.
