GATE 2015 Formula and Score Calculation:-

A candidate's score is computed as: 

S = S_q + (S_t - S_q) \frac {M-M_q} {\overline{M}_t-M_q} 

where,

•S = GATE Score (normalised) of a candidate,

•M = Marks obtained by a candidate in a paper,

•Mq = Qualifying marks for general category candidates in the paper,

•Mt = Average Marks of top 0.1% or 10 (which ever is higher) of candidates in the paper,

•St = GATE Score assigned to Mt (around 900), and

•Sq = GATE Score assigned to Mq (around 300).

•Mq is usually 25 marks (out of 100) or μ + σ, whichever is higher. Here μ is the mean of marks of all candidates in a paper (with negative marks converted to zero) and σ is the standard deviation of the candidates' marks.
