The energy is electric! After the historic results declared by IIT Guwahati on March 19, we are officially here to honor the brilliant minds who conquered the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering.

Event Highlights

Last Updated at 5:30 - Event Concluded

The GATE Topper Felicitation Ceremony has successfully concluded. The event celebrated the outstanding achievers and recognized their exceptional performance in GATE 2026.

Last updated at 4:30 PM- The Grand Opening: Teachers Take the Stage

The event kicked off with a burst of energy as the host welcomed the B.Tech students in the audience. He reminded them that while engineering life seems "chill" now, the road ahead requires grit.

The Gate Wala Faculty was invited onto the stage to a roaring applause. The host clarified a common misconception:

"These aren't the teachers who nag you for attendance in college; these are the mentors who lose sleep to build your careers!"

  • Apoorv Sir: Shared how the team works all year specifically for this one day of celebration.

  • Vishwadeep Sir (CS Dept): Gave a powerful message about how a single result changes your life—from being questioned by society to being sought after for advice.

Last Updated at 3:30- Inspiring Stories & Struggles

1. The Consistency Battle: Rajat (AIR 4)

Rajat shared that his journey wasn't perfect. He admitted to being inconsistent initially but locked in during the final three months. He credited the PW Real Test feature for helping him handle exam-day pressure.

2. The Goal-Oriented: Prasad (AIR 2)

Accompanied by his father, Prasad’s story is one of efficiency. He prepared for GATE in just 5–6 months while managing an internship. His goal? Using his GATE score to get into Industrial Engineering at top IITs and eventually launching a startup.

3. Overcoming Loss: Prabal (AIR 2)

In a touching moment, Prabal’s story was shared. Despite losing his father during COVID, he stayed motivated by his family's academic background. His mother, a single parent, stood proudly by him, noting that she never pressured him, only supported him.

Fun Fact: Prabal is also a talented Tabla player!

4. The "Sweet Revenge": Rishikesh (AIR 9)

Rishikesh brought some humor to the stage. He shared a story from his college days where he was kicked out of the hostel after a "crush-related" complaint led to a disciplinary issue.

"The day my AIR 9 result came out, the first message I received was from that same girl!"
