The GATE exam is primarily objective in nature. It consists of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), Multiple Select Questions (MSQs), and Numerical Answer Type (NAT) questions. All questions are designed to test conceptual understanding and problem-solving ability. There are no essay-type subjective questions in GATE.
