1. Single common online exam:

Public Sector Undertaking hiring through GATE saves on a lot of time, energy, and resources for the PSUs and the aspirants as the hiring takes place through one common platform. The diligence process of setting a technical exam, choosing exam centers, organizing exams in a fair manner takes place via PSUs hiring through GATE. It is because the recruitment departments need to conduct only the interview rounds at the respective Public Sector Undertakings. As only a fraction of the total applicants appearing for the GATE exam make it to the interview rounds, the hard work, money, time, and effort is saved on the parts of both, PSUs and the candidates. In addition, candidates need to prepare only for one single online exam throughout the year, so they can give it their best shot. They can concentrate better and spend more time in the preparation as now they can collectively focus in one single direction. Apart from this, the concerned officials can pay a significant amount of financial resources through this process of common recruitment.

 

2. Money efficient:

An extravagant amount of money is spent in conducting exams for any type of recruitment process. PSU Recruiting through GATE, a single online exam, creates for saving of this money for both aspirants and recruiters. The PSUs need to conduct interviews and spend money only in their organization for one round. Aspirants, on the other hand, also save money as they have the facility to apply for the interview rounds at one or more PSUs after analyzing and zeroing down on few options. A single window exam using a common platform involves high money efficiency compared to any other available options, including separate online exams or offline exams or campus placements. Moreover, PSU recruitment through a single online exam ensures the recruitment of deserving and talented candidates who can serve their responsibilities well.

 

3. Recruiting only the best of the best:

Since lakhs of aspirants prepare and appear for Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) every year but only hundreds of them make it to PSUs like NTPC, HPCL, BHEL, or well-known PG courses in colleges such as IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, or NITIE Mumbai. It implies that only the best of the best is recruited through the online exam. PSUs get a chance to recruit the best brains in the country for dignified jobs. Also, otherwise, the Graduate aptitude test in engineering is reputed for being one of the toughest exams in the country. Only those who can make it through this tough online exam with good ranks get a chance in PSU hiring through GATE. For aspirants, though, sometimes it becomes a tough target to grab their dream jobs in PSUs like NTPC, HPCL, BHEL, etc. but with some help and guidance from some coaching, some online portal, and a lot of hard work, the task is not undoable. All in all, PSU hiring through GATE increases the number of opportunities for all aspirants at any stage of their careers.

 

4. Increased number of opportunities:

PSU hiring through GATE increases the number of opportunities for all aspirants. If PSU recruitment were to happen through campus placements only and not through a common online exam (GATE 2022), maybe the students of tier-II and tier-III colleges never would have got a chance to get into the prestigious jobs of Public Sector Undertakings like NTPC, BHEL, etc. Also, aspirants who opt for a campus placement in the start or for a break to prepare for some other exams would find it extremely tough to get into PG courses of IITs or Public Sector Undertakings even later in their careers. While aspirants choose to appear for Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering, they open up a number of options for themselves to choose from, regarding their career, which would have not been there, otherwise. For instance, someone aiming for NTPC might as well get selected in HPCL or BHEL and opt for the later, if circumstances are more favorable and options are available. Also, due to this common hiring process, maximum possible absorption takes place in these PSUs.

 

5. Least wastage of opportunities:

PSU recruitment through one common online exam leads to minimum PSUs’ seats going vacant or being bagged by the same candidate and ultimately going unoccupied. Not that it does not happen when PSUs hire through the online exam of GATE, but the percentage is relatively lesser and the efficiency increases a little more. Since all the candidates are required to apply within the same timelines and filtering through successive rounds of filtering, shortlisting, and selection, candidates get a clear picture of where they want to be. Also, due to the waitlists, as candidates keep backing out to opt for better or more suitable options, others keep getting a chance in their place. Had the same process been through separate exams by all the PSUs, over the year, maybe the same candidates would be bagging seats in all the different PSUs and keep quitting them for better opportunities. This way a lot of other aspirants would lose on opportunities or settle for some other less lucrative jobs since most of them have a definite time frame to settle for a job.

 

6. Decrease in Preparation time:

Since most of the aspirants do not have more than a year or so to spare for finding a job in PSUs like NTPC, HPCL, BHEL, etc., PSU hiring through GATE, a single online exam helps them. If different exams were being conducted for different PSUs, over span of an entire year, aspirants would need more preparation time if they were to appear in each exam with full preparation. Almost a year for studying and preparing after the start of studies and an additional year, to appear for the exams, await their results, interviews and the final results. The total span of staring to prepare for PSUs, appearing for their exams and interviews and finally bagging the jobs, would not be less than two years at least.
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering online exam, being an annual exam, held the same time of the year, every year makes it much easier and less time taking for the aspirants to prepare and appear for the PSU hiring through GATE. Moreover, it also ensures more focused preparation.

 

7. Better and focused preparation:

As stated earlier, PSU hiring through GATE provides for more time to aspirants for preparation. It also provides for a more focused and better preparation. In the case of separate exams, being conducted at different times, aspirants would have to prepare, focus or at least revise before each individual exam. It, not only breaks the rhythm and flow of studies but also leads to demotivation if results do not come out to be in one’s favor. Equal attention and preparation for all the exams becomes a tough job then. Aspirants would then, be required to prioritize, choose only one of the PSUs and prepare accordingly. GATE being an online exam, conducted every year, unaffected by the fact whether several PSUs are hiring that year or not, make the exam’s results more analytic and deterministic. Aspirants can prepare accordingly and devise their exam strategies for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering.

 

8. More deterministic results make it easier to prepare:

The cut-off for NTPC, HPCL, BHEL, PG courses of IIT Delhi, etc. which recruit through GATE Online Exam can be pre-determined. GATE being conducted regularly over the years make it more or less analytic and easier to pre-determine its cut-offs for various PSUs and PG courses. This helps the candidates to devise their strategy for the online exam, according to what they are aiming to achieve, be it PSUs or IITs. The same strategy can be used and tested by opting for a good online test series, appearing for multiple tests, and analyzing the test scores and results. If a good test series is opted, most of the aspirants go for which, a very close estimate of correct rank can be obtained and worked upon accordingly. In addition, since the online exam is designed by IITs, GATE 2022 being designed by IIT Kharagpur, it ensures for a credible examination.
