The results for GATE 2009 have finally been declared. As expected, there seems to be a lot of traffic to the GATE result website www.gate.iitb.ac.in/gate2k9 and looks like website is bogged down. So, one has to wait a while before one can see those results.
Here is the brief information about the GATE exam.
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all-India examination administered and conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science and seven Indian Institutes of Technology on behalf of the National Coordinating Board – GATE, Department of Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India.
The GATE committee, which comprises of representatives from the administering institutes, is the sole authority for regulating the examination and declaring the results.
GATE is conducted through the constitution of eight zones. The zones and the corresponding administrative institutes are:
Zone 1 – Indian Institute of Science Bangalore
Zone 2 – Indian Institute of Technology Bombay
Zone 3 – Indian Institute of Technology Delhi
Zone 4 – Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati
Zone 5 – Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur

Zone 7 – Indian Institute of Technology Madras
Zone 8 – Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee
The overall coordination and responsibility of conducting GATE 2009 lies with Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, designated as the Organizing Institute for GATE 2009.
Admission to postgraduate programmes with MHRD and some other government scholarship/assistantship at engineering colleges/institutes in the country are open to those who qualify through GATE. GATE qualified candidates with Bachelor’s degree in Engineering/ Technology/ Architecture/ Pharmacy or Master’s degree in any branch of Science/Mathematics/Statistics/Computer Applications are eligible for Master/Doctoral programmes in Engineering/Technology/Architecture/Pharmacy as well as for Doctoral programmes in relevant branches of Science.

Some institutions specify GATE as the mandatory qualification even for admission of self-financing students to postgraduate programmes. GATE qualified candidates are also eligible for the award of Junior Research Fellowship in CSIR Laboratories and CSIR sponsored projects. Some government organizations prescribe GATE qualification as a requirement for applying to the post of a Scientist / Engineer.

Come Holi and the music market is rife with the Bhojpuri holi songs albums. And the popularity is huge. The double meaning songs, the native music, the folk tone and the hot busty actresses make the Bhojpuri songs irrestible. These songs ooze nativity and a hint of eroticism.
For instance, take the songs about jija – saali (sister-in law and brother-in-law). The raunchy songs give the colour of naughtiness to this relation. Similarly, the already naughty relationship of devar- bhabhi(sister-in law and brother-in-law) gets imbued with raunchiness and sometimes with the tone of incest.
This music industry has given rise to many stars like Mahoj Tiwari, Guddu Rangila and many actresses like Rinku Ghosh, Divya Desai, Sapna, Pakhi.
