GATE 2010

Hi,

This is something that has come to us through various channels :

1. GATE 2010 will be conducted by IIT Guwahati
2. The pattern is set to change again from the previous pattern.(55 questions, 100 marks unconfirmed as of now)
3. GATE Score will be valid for two years. Once again. (confirmed)
4. Now you can give the exam in 3rd year itself.(confirmed)
5. GATE 2010 - Pharmacy still remains unincluded.(confirmed) There is news that Pharmacy exam will be taken up by AICTE.
6. Some papers - MN, TS will be conducted online! (the streams with very less number of students, not the common streams of EC, CS, EE, ME, etc.)
7. GATE Board is currently in discussion whether to extend the validity of GATE 2009 score to 2010. But they have not decided yet. It will be decided by December.

Well this is good news, especially the GATE Score being valid for two years. This part has to be confirmed though. Look forward to inside news, if anyone has any.

GATE Forms will be available from 22 September.

Some news that might be useful for pharmacy students :
In TOI on 28 August - Front page :
MCI, Dental, Pharmacy, Nursing Councils will be scrapped, and will be taken care of a single regulatory body - National Council for Human Resources in Health. Looking forward to more details on this.

Look forward to you discussing this! Cheers!
