CII iPATE will be covering 100 questions having total of 100 marks with a negative marking of 1/2 for each wrong answer. After the result of the exam, CII will be sharing score cards of students to different private industries, which will be calling candidates directly for interviews.
In India, there are no professional eligibility tests for engineers that can give them a license to work in technical fields. However, IPATE can become an important exam for any engineer who wishes to join a good private company. There is no age limit either and those who are currently working and want to switch can also attempt this exam. For preparation, students can refer to GATE’s previous year papers and ESE nontechnical paper-1 questions from 2012 onward.
