PSU Recruitment is one of the dreams of Engineering Graduates. PSU Recruitment through GATE Score was started by some PSU in 2012 and after that many PSUs announced GATE score to be mandatory for recruitment of graduate engineers at entry level.
With the start of PSU recruitment through GATE, a new set of options and opportunities have opened up for GATE aspirants. Prior to 2012, GATE primarily was for admission to the postgraduate degree in engineering i.e M.Tech, MS since then it has now opened up other multiple options in which recruitment for PSU becomes one of the favourite choices of GATE aspirants. In present, there are more than 3000 jobs available through GATE exam for engineering graduates.
PSU Job through GATE score is one of the lucrative reason why GATE sees a large number of applicants who more or so apply to go for a PSU job. The most lucrative aspects of PSU jobs are:
- High Pay Packages
- Work-Life Balance
- Extra benefits of the Government sector
- Support for higher and further education
BHEL GAIL, NHPC, BSNL, DMRC, and DRDO are some major PSU’s which uses GATE score to recruit engineering graduates. As of now, GATE or Grater Aptitude Tests for Engineering will not only tests your technical skills it will also test your analytical as well as logical skills. There is an only one eligibility criterion to apply for PSU and that is to have good and valid GATE score.
Procedure of PSU Recruitment Through GATE:
Generally, a valid GATE score is considered as the main eligibility criteria for the recruitment procedure for PSU and also the minimum percentage obtained in their graduation. Age limits are also there for some PSU’s. There are some PSU’s which conduct personal interviews (PI) and group discussion (GD) after their initial screening on the basis of GATE score. The weightage given to GATE score is between 75% to 85%.
