PSU Recruitment through GATE 2025 - As we know in India various PSUs or Public Sector Undertakings offer job opportunities for those students who qualify for the GATE exam, The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering is an examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in engineering and science. GATE 2025 was conducted on 29 subjects.

  • Gate exam scores are also used for admissions to various engineering post-graduation programs in IISc, IITs, NITs, IIITs, and many foreign institutes.
  • Indian Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) use Gate scores to recruit graduate engineers in entry-level positions.

The validity of the Score from the date of announcement of the GATE results:

1 Year: in PSUs recruitments, 
3 Years: in IISc, IITs, NITs, and IIITs etc.

PSUs Recruitment Process Through GATE Exam

Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), like IOCL BHEL, NTPC, BPCL, and CEL are Indian Government corporations/companies and the Government has more than 51% share. For the application of the PSU job, you require strong, in-depth technical knowledge and an understanding of core engineering Principles for PSU Jobs. GATE exam is fit in these tests.

You can apply directly through the “Careers” section given on these PSU websites, although nearly all of the PSUs choose to recruit candidates in 3 ways:

  1. By conducting their test examinations.
  2. By shortlisting candidates based on their GATE scores.
  3. By recruiting candidates from the premier (e.g., IIT, IIM etc.) institutes in the country.

For a long, PSUs have had trouble conducting their recruitment processes with a selection rate of less than 1% from more than 100,000 candidates. To solve this, after 2012, the PSUs decided that a GATE score would be the primary criteria for initial shortlisting. Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) was the first PSU which successfully test this system then two years later by National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), and other PSUs. All these PSUs would shortlist candidates based on GATE scores and then the process is followed by GD and Interview for assessment of different facets of knowledge. Eligibility Criteria for PSU

PSU Recruitment through GATE 2025 - Overview

Apart from having a valid GATE score in the respective GATE paper, Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) may establish additional eligibility criteria, such as the minimum pass percentage or CGPA obtained during your undergraduate studies, an age limit, and a medical certificate to confirm physical fitness. Eligibility for PSU recruitment through GATE is limited to Indian citizens. Numerous companies have entered into Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with the GATE organizing committee to utilize GATE scores as a screening method when hiring entry-level engineers. Below, we have compiled a list of PSUs that are recruiting based on GATE Computer Science scores for the year 2025.
