It is better to inform which iit is going to conduct next gate exam — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.207.255.242 (talk) 16:57, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Numbering format
I am confused to read numbers like 7,11,542 and think it should actually mean 711,542 (i.e., seven-hundred thousand ...). There are many more examples ... Benjamin.friedrich (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 20:57, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

POV
These lines are apparently POV to me: In recent years ,various academicians have recognized GATE as being one of the toughest exams in its category. Moreover it has strikingly similar toughness like Joint Entrance Examination held for students entering IIT for undergraduate engineering courses.Shashankgupta (talk) 11:19, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Too much details
Some people are adding too much details about the exam such as: GATE paper codes, "history" of organizing institutes, detailed analysis of GATE score etc. These bits are definitely important to a candidate who is going to undertake the exam but please keep in mind this is not a how-to guide about GATE exam. Please refrain from adding unnecessary details and keep the article as a general one about the subject.--Shashankgupta (talk) 10:22, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
 * What is the problem with detail if it is relevant for a Wikipedia article?


 * I do not see any harm in including relevant details. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and it can provide in-depth information for all those who need it. Those who do not want any particular information can simply skip it.Intelligentguy89 (talk) 23:58, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

A path to progress
This statistics is really going to encourage the students to get to know about the need of the hour .This is really going to help them go ahead and plan judiciously and accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.211.85.36 (talk) 18:12, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Elevating article's quality assessment from "stub" class to "B" class
As per the article's revision history, this article was probably created in December 2005. On 1st March 2006, it was rated as "stub" class on Wikiproject India's quality assessment scale. At that time, the article's size was around 1 kilobyte, so it probably merited a "stub class" classification.

However, it has been around 7 years now, and the article's coverage of GATE has grown substantially, via contribution from many users. The article size is now more than 24 kilobytes. The article quality has improved considerably. Clearly, this article is no longer a stub. Thus, I am elevating its classification from "stub" class to "B" class on Wikiproject India's quality assessment scale.

Changing to the 'List of companies' section
The 'List of companies' sections of this article seems to have content that needs to be updated periodically by volunteers who are interested in doing so. I currently don't see such constant updation to that section of the article as a lot of references seem to be quite old and there are a lot of unreferenced content in that section. So, I think it's better to change that section by removing the table and just listing the companies that hire by GATE score. Maintanence of this list doens't seem as hard as maintaining that table. In case I don't receive any contradiction to this, I'll be updating the section within a week. In case you're interested in the background see at the teahouse.
