Top Marks in GATE 2010

It was hard for me know the highest or top marks scored in GATE during last year and many student asked about it. I decided to record the heights marks scored in GATE exam and make an analysis. This also helped me to make a generalized assumption about highest marks in GATE or marks that would fetch a seat in IIT.

The highest are marks totally depends and I always suggest GATE 2011 students to target highest marks. Dont be happy, if you are scoring same as highest marks of previous year. Be aware someone is always preparing for highest marks (ie. 100), if he or she make it you will be standing in a risk to get into IITs.

The highest marks in GATE 2010 for all the branches could not be collected. I think marks of student well below 10 gives a good estimate of highest marks for the engineering stream. I gave the rank for which the marks obtained and a guess for top marks in GATE. You can also refer to Total number of student appeared in GATE 2010 and GATE 2010 qualifying Marks for other related information.

Highest marks for GATE 2010

Discipline	Rank	Top Marks
Computer Science and Engineering and IT (CS and IT)	1	85.33
Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE)	1	79
Electrical Engineering (EE)	5 9 Top Marks Guess	78.67 77 ~80
Mechanical Engineering (ME)	4 5 Top Marks Guess	70.33 70 ~72
Civil Engineering (CE)	9 Top Marks Guess	67.67 ~71
Instrumentation Engineering (IN)	6 9 Top Marks Guess	61 58 ~65
Chemical Engineering	4 9 Top Marks Guess	65.67 62 ~68
Production and Industrial Engineering (PI)	2 Top Marks Guess	59.67 ~60
Physics	1	77.6

This post is from a series of posts related GATE exam preparation, GATE 2011 preparation: A complete Guide. Hope these will help many students. If you know the candidates appeared in any other stream, please feel free to drop a comment with a GATE registration number, I will verify and add it to the list.

Aeronautical Engineering Course or Aerospace Engineering Course: Prospects, Future and Institutes in India

This is a specialized and improved branch of mechanical engineering that involve learning about design and construction of airplanes, aircraft and spacecrafts. This course needs a good understanding of basic mathematics and physics because lot of fundamental principles from physics and mathematics are extensively applied in flight technology. Speaking more practically, don’t have an expectation that you will visit all top Aerospace lab in the world and exposed to all space settles in B.Tech (bachelor degree in engineering) or M.Tech (master degree in engineering) course. This course will teach your basic principles of flight engineering with few individual experiments. For example, you may have a lab to experiment vibration, propulsion and thermodynamics. You will test all of them individually not in aircraft.

Frankly speaking big job opportunities are rare in the field of engineering. Usually students

either move to software companies to got master of engineering in Aerospace Engineering. If you are aim is to work for NASA and you are from and in India then you need to be exceptionally talented, lucky, patient and persistent Core companies: Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, there are few private companies like Boeing, GE who offer job for aerospace engineering. Finding a job is core aerospace engineering is not easy.

Average salary: 2 to 3 lakh Rupees Institutes offering Aerospace Engineering Degrees:
Indian Institute of Science (IISc)
Almost all IITs (Indian Institute of Technology)
Hindustan Inst of Engineering Technology, Chennai
Indian Institute of Aeronautical Engineering, Dehradun
Academy of Aerospace and Aviation, Indore
