The training modules
GATEWAY to ‘GATE’
GATEWAY TO “GATE” is United’s revolutionary trend of mentoring for GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) preparation, one of the biggest and most prestigious exams for engineering graduates, organised by the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore along with all the IITs on behalf of the Government of India, NCB (National Coordination Board GATE), the Department of Higher Education and MHRD. Spread across the 6th to 8th semesters, this spiral model is an ideal preparatory forum initiated by UGI faculty for UGI students who aim to qualify GATE and go for higher studies or PSUs.
Special features of GATE2GATE
- Making the students aware of the GATE syllabus and exam pattern.
- Through uniform distribution of subjects/topics across the semesters, reducing the burden at the time of examination.
- Making GATE reference books and study materials available to the students.
- Making the students practise and solve previous years’ and sample question papers.
Verbal Ability Program (VAP) & Soft Skills Training
The “Verbal Ability Program” (VAP) is another unique feature of UGI, motivated by the pressing need for improvement in English proficiency, communication and aptitude along with other soft skills, which often limit a student’s chances of landing a job. The passionate team of experienced faculty members at United makes the students work on their Intelligence Quotient (IQ) — covering numerical, analytical and reasoning skills along with English proficiency — and also their Emotional Quotient (EQ), covering attitude, communication, interpersonal and decision-making skills.
