A Team of Gate Forum under Mr. Mayank Trivedi had delivered and expert talk to 3rd and 4th year students on 3/1/2020. He made aware about the benefits of Gate score. He discussed the top rankers with AIR less than 200 have an opportunity to get direct admissions to the IISc and IITs and NITs many other reputed colleges in MTech. He discuss how GATE score helps in getting jobs in PSUs and how it helps to go into research, you can apply in CSIR Institutes as a junior research fellow and on completion one will be called a scientist. Not only these but Gate score will help in job interview too. He delivered the lecture on the subject”Instrumentation and process control” and made understood the practical application of this subject in industry. He gave some examples of some control systems used in industries like quality control of manufactured products, power system, Nano technology, temperature, pressure and level control system etc. This lecture was very helpful to the students and it will become the stepping stone to their career ahead.
