Do You Need to Upload Both GATE 2019 and 2020 Scores for BARC Application?
Dear applicant,
The answer to your question is no; you do not need to upload both GATE 2019 and 2020 scores in the BARC application form. The key factor is that you should use the higher of the two scores if both are applicable.
Eligibility Criteria: Higher Score Wins
For the BARC recruitment process, the
GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) score is a critical eligibility criterion for various programs. Therefore, if you have taken the GATE in two consecutive years, you should upload only your better score.
While this might seem straightforward, the rationale behind this requirement is to ensure a fair and transparent selection process. By encouraging candidates to submit their highest score, the organization promotes an environment where merit is the primary factor in shortlisting candidates for further assessment and interviews.
BARC's Application Protocol
BARC asks for the GATE score as a valid requirement for the application process. However, candidates are permitted to apply for the programs as long as they meet the eligibility criteria. Non-GATE candidates can also participate in the selection process by appearing for an online test.
Timeframe for GATE Score Upload
It is important to note that GATE-qualified candidates must upload their GATE scores by April 1, 2020.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What happen if I submit both GATE 2019 and 2020 scores?
If you submit both scores, the system will default to the higher of the two. Hence, there is no need to submit both. Submitting multiple scores may cause confusion and delay in your application processing.
2. Can I apply if I do not have a GATE score?
Candidates who do not have a GATE score can still apply but must appear for an online test if the program has this eligibility criterion. Non-GATE candidates are encouraged to check the eligibility requirements for their desired program on the BARC website.
3. What is the validity period of GATE scores?
GATE scores are valid for two years from the date of the exam. Therefore, candidates can use their GATE score from 2019 or 2020 for the BARC application, provided their scores are eligible and valid.
Conclusion
When it comes to your BARC application, focus on submitting the highest valid GATE score you have. You do not need to upload both scores. Instead, prioritize the better score to ensure a smooth and efficient application process. We wish you the best of luck in your application journey.
