To be clear, there is no requirement for a physical fitness certificate for GATE CSE eligibility.


GATE is a national-level entrance exam conducted by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) on a rotational basis. It serves as a gateway for admission to postgraduate programs (M.Tech/M.E./Ph.D.) in various prestigious institutions and universities across India. GATE scores are also used for recruitment purposes by several public sector undertakings (PSUs) and government organizations.


To be eligible for GATE CSE (Computer Science and Information Technology), candidates must meet the following criteria:
