IISc will release the response sheet for the Graduate Aptitude Test for Engineering (GATE 2024) today. To calculate the probable score secured for admission to engineering, technology, science, architecture, and humanities courses offered by IITs and IISc, one can use the GATE answer sheets of the individual candidates who appeared in the exam.
The GATE 2024 examination was conducted on February 3, 4 and February 10, 11 at various test centers across the country. According to several candidates, the question papers were moderate to challenging in comparison to previous years’ papers.
Aspirants will be able to raise objections against the GATE answers published on Wednesday, February 21. The GATE results for 2024 will be announced on March 16 based on the final answer key.
