A candidate can choose any one of the papers listed below.

#GG (Geology and Geophysics) paper will consist of two parts: Part A and Part B. Part A will be common for all candidates. Part B will contain two sections: Section 1 (Geology) and Section 2 (Geophysics). Candidates will have to attempt questions in Part A and either Section 1 or Section 2 in Part B.

$GATE 2010 examination for Mining Engineering (MN) and Textile Engineering and Fibre Science (TF) papers will be computer based ONLINE examination.

* Papers XE and XL are of general nature and will comprise the following sections:

A candidate appearing in XE or XL paper will be required to answer three sections. Section A is compulsory in XE paper and Section H is compulsory in XL paper. The candidate can choose any two out of the remaining sections listed against the respective papers.

The choice of the appropriate paper is the responsibility of the candidate. Some guidelines in this respect are suggested below:
• Candidate is expected to appear in a paper (one of the listed above) appropriate to the discipline of his/her qualifying degree.
• Candidate is, however, free to choose any paper according to his/her admission plan, keeping in mind the eligibility criteria of the institutions in which he/she wishes to seek admission.

• Scorecard will be sent only to the qualified candidates. No information will be sent to candidates who are not qualified.
• The GATE score card is a valuable document. Care should be taken to preserve it. Additional Score Cards, (up to a maximum of two) will be issued on payment basis only once
• The Score Card cannot be treated as a proof of category.
• The score card of the Qualified Candidates will include GATE Score, Percentile Score and Rank

The GATE score is calculated as follows:

m = marks obtained by the candidate.
a = average of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard, in the current year.
s = standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard, in the current year.

A typical qualitative interpretation of the GATE SCORE, for example, can be as follows:

The percentile score is calculated as follows:
Let N be the total number of candidates appearing in that paper and nc be the number of candidates who have the same all India rank c in the same paper (there can be bunching at a given all India rank). Then all the candidates, whose all India rank is r, will have the same percentile score P, where
