This is being asked so many times that I decided to write a post about it. To get a clear answer for this question, please have look at eligibility criteria for appearing for GATE exam.
There is nothing mentioned about number of attempts one can make in GATE exam. That is the best thing and there is no age limit too. As of now, the organizers don’t maintain the database of student taking GATE exam and use it to verify that every time.
The bottom line is you can make as many attempts to GATE exam as you want. There is no limit on number of attempts in eligibility for GATE exam.
The next question is about age limit for attempting GATE exam. I think there is no age limit either for appearing in GATE exam. I was referring to the GATE 2011 online application form. Exam seekers born during 1940 to 1995 are eligible to appear for the exam if the fulfill other eligibility conditions mentioned.
The information holds correct until the GATE exam organizers decide to change the eligibility conditions. I will try to update as soon as any modifications comes up in number of attempts to GATE or any changes in age are made.

Hello Zahid,
What you had mentioned about the lower-age limit?
You had mentioned that a person born between 1940 & 1995 is eligible to appear in GATE. I don’t have information about the upper limit but the person born in 1995 is just 16 years old on July 1st, 2011. How can he/she appear in the exam as according to 16 years, it is the minimum real age for a person to appear in class 10th board exam, 15 be the certificate age.
I believe the minimum age limit to appear in GATE is 21 years. So, it will be 1990 & not 1995.
no not like that, some intelgent children’s complete thair degre in 13 or 14 years also, that’s way some of those are also eligebul to apper in gate exam.
very very thanx to provide so much information . so i want u should update all about gate
