The '''Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering''' ('''GATE''') is an all-[[India]] examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in engineering and science. GATE is conducted jointly by the [[Indian Institute of Science]] and seven [[Indian Institutes of Technology]] ([[IIT Bombay]], [[IIT Delhi]], [[IIT Guwahati]], [[IIT Kanpur]], [[IIT Kharagpur]], [[IIT Madras]] and [[IIT Roorkee]]) on behalf of the National Coordination Board – GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India.
 
The GATE score of a candidate reflects the relative performance level of a candidate. The score is used for admissions to various post-graduate programs (e.g. Master of Engineering, Master of Technology, Doctor of Philosophy) in Indian higher education institutes, with financial assistance provided by MHRD and other government agencies. Recently, GATE scores are also being used by several Indian public sector undertakings (i.e., government-owned companies) for recruiting graduate engineers in entry-level positions. It is one of the most competitive examinations in India.
 
==Financial Assistance==
 
A valid GATE score is essential for obtaining financial assistance during Master’s programs and direct Doctoral programs in Engineering/Technology/Architecture, and Doctoral programs in relevant branches of Science in Institutes supported by the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD) or other Government agencies. As per the directives of MHRD, the following procedure is to be adopted for admission to the post-graduate programs (Master’s and Doctoral) with MHRD scholarship/assistant-ship: Depending upon the norms adopted by a specific institute or department of the Institute, a candidate may be admitted directly into a course based on his/her performance in GATE only or based on his/her performance in GATE and an admission test / interview conducted by the department to which he/she has applied and/or the candidate’s academic record. If the candidate is to be selected through test/interview for post-graduate programs, the minimum of 70% weightage is given to the performance in GATE and the remaining 30% weightage can be given to the candidate’s performance in test/interview and/or academic record. The admitting institutes can, however, prescribe a minimum passing percentage of marks in the test/interview. Some colleges/institutes specify GATE qualification as the mandatory requirement even for admission without MHRD scholarship/assistant-ship.
To avail the financial assistance (scholarship), the candidate must first secure admission to a program in these Institutes, by a procedure that could vary from institute to institute. Qualification in GATE is also a minimum requirement to apply for various fellowships awarded by many Government organizations. The criteria for postgraduate admission with scholarship/assistant-ship could be different for different institutions.<ref>http://gate.iitkgp.ac.in/gate2014/about.php</ref>

'''General aptitude questions'''
 
Each subject's test contains 10 questions that test the "general aptitude" (language and analytic skills), apart from the core subject of the discipline.<ref>http://gate.iitkgp.ac.in/gate2014/gpstruc.php</ref>
 
'''Duration and examination type'''
 
The GATE examination consists of a single test of 3-hour duration that contains a total of 65 questions, worth a maximum of 100 marks. The questions consist of both multiple choice questions (MCQs) and numerical answer type questions.<ref>http://gate.iitkgp.ac.in/gate2014/gpstruc.php</ref>
 
From 2014 onward, the examination for all the papers is carried out in an online Computer Based Test (CBT) mode where the candidates are shown the questions in a random sequence on a computer screen. The candidates are required to either select the answer (for multiple-choice question type) or enter the answer for numerical answer type question using a mouse on a virtual keyboard (keyboard of the computer is disabled). Candidates are provided with blank paper sheets for rough work and these have to be returned back after the examination. At the end of the 3-hour window, the computer automatically closes the screen from further actions.<ref>http://gate.iitkgp.ac.in/gate2014/gpstruc.php</ref>
 
==Result==
 
GATE results are usually declared about one month after the examinations are over. The results show the total marks scored by a candidate, the GATE score, the all-India rank and the cut off marks for various categories in the candidate's paper. The score is valid for 2 years from the date of announcement of the results. The score cards are issued to all qualified candidates.
 
'''Normalized GATE Score (new formula):'''<ref>[http://www.gate.iitb.ac.in/gate2013/gate-score/ GATE Score &#124; GATE 2013]</ref><ref>http://gate.iitkgp.ac.in/gate2014/corrigendum.php</ref>
 
From 2013, the GATE score is computed by a new formula.<br />
A candidate's score is computed as:
<math>S = S_q + (S_t - S_q) \frac{M-M_q}{\overline{M}_t-M_q} </math><br />
where,
: S = GATE Score (normalised) of a candidate,
: M = Marks obtained by a candidate in a paper,
: M<sub>q</sub> = Qualifying marks for general category candidates in the paper,
: {{overline | M}}<sub>t</sub> = Average Marks of top 0.1% or 10 (which ever is higher) of candidates in the paper,
: S<sub>t</sub> = GATE Score assigned to {{overline|M}}<sub>t</sub> (around 900), and
: S<sub>q</sub> = GATE Score assigned to M<sub>q</sub> (around 300).
 
'''Old formula:'''<ref>[http://www.gate.iitb.ac.in/gate2013/gate-score-formula-2012/ GATE Score Formula 2012 &#124; GATE 2013]</ref>
 
Till GATE 2012 the score was calculated using the formula: GATE score = <math>10(a_g + s_g\frac{m-a}{S})</math>
 
: Where
: m = marks obtained by the candidate.
: a = average of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard in GATE for that year
: S = standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard in GATE for that year
: a<sub>g</sub>= global average of marks of all candidates who appeared across all papers and years
: s<sub>g</sub>= global standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared across all papers and years
 
== Qualifying Marks ==
 
The rules for qualifying marks have varied from year to year. The qualifying marks (out of 100) are different for different subjects as well as categories.
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Category !! Qualifying mark (out of 100)
|-
| [[Forward caste|General (GN)]] || 25 or μ + σ, whichever is higher.
|-
| [[Other Backward Class|Other backward classes (OBC)]] || 90 % of general category's qualifying mark.
|-
| [[Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes|Scheduled castes (SC) and scheduled tribes (ST)]] || 2/3 (i.e., 66.67 %) of general category's qualifying mark.
|}
 
Here μ is the average (i.e., arithmetic mean) of marks of all candidates in the subject (with negative marks converted to zero) and σ is the standard deviation of all marks in that subject.
 
Usually, the general category's qualifying mark is in the 25 to 30 range.
 
Before 2008, when the Government of India implemented reservations for other backward classes (OBCs) in college admissions and public sector job recruitment, the [[Other Backward Caste|OBC]] candidates were included in the "general" category. There was no separate OBC category then.

A total of 1,200,728 candidates registered for GATE 2013 and 984,855 candidates (82.02%) appeared for the exam, of which 136,699 (13.88%) qualified in GATE 2013.<ref>http://www.gate.iitb.ac.in/gate2013/gate-2013-result-statistics/</ref>
 
The three-hour test was conducted on two days over four sessions in total. The computer based online exam for 2,02,223 candidates in fifteen papers was conducted in 572 centers spread over 123 cities and towns across the country on 20 January 2013. The offline exam for 9,98,505 candidates in the remaining six papers was conducted in 992 centers spread over 183 cities and towns across the country on 10 February 2013.<ref>http://www.gate.iitb.ac.in/gate2013/gate-2013-result-statistics/</ref>
 
A larger fraction of the registered men appeared (88%) for the exam than women candidates (72%). Nearly 81% of the total number of candidates who appeared for GATE 2013 were from four papers: Electronics and Communication Engineering (2,56,135), Computer Science and Information Technology (2,24,160), Mechanical Engineering (1,65,814) and Electrical Engineering (1,52,381).<ref>http://www.gate.iitb.ac.in/gate2013/gate-2013-result-statistics/</ref>
 
Women formed 20.9% of the total qualified candidates. As per the candidate supplied category (General, OBC-NC, SC, and ST) information, among the qualified candidates, 72,125 belong to General, 41,237 to OBC-NC, 18,936 to SC, and 4,401 to ST category. Physically challenged candidates comprised a total of 1,136 among the qualified in various categories.<ref>http://www.gate.iitb.ac.in/gate2013/gate-2013-result-statistics/</ref>
 
The top five States that had qualified candidates as their permanent residence were Andra Pradesh (22,476), Uttar Pradesh (22,400), Maharashtra (9,951), Bihar (9,820), and Kerala (8,992).<ref>http://www.gate.iitb.ac.in/gate2013/gate-2013-result-statistics/</ref>
 
The city of New Delhi has the maximum number of qualified candidates who had mentioned it as their correspondence address. "Correspondence address City" has a slightly different bearing compared to the "Permanent State".  While the Permanent Residence State often relates to the “Native” State or State where their Parents/Guardians live, the Correspondence City is mostly related to the current residence, which is more likely to be the place of study or employment.<ref>http://www.gate.iitb.ac.in/gate2013/gate-2013-result-statistics/</ref>

==Difficulty level of GATE==
 
GATE Papers, for long, have been known to test the Engineering basics in a smart way. Complaints of "lengthy" problems have been rare. But the task of mastering an entire course of Engineering (30 plus subjects) for a three hour test, itself gives the test a certain level of toughness. In GATE 2012, only 14% of all candidates qualified.
 
==Admission to Post-Graduate programs==
 
Unlike undergraduate admissions in India, candidates must apply individually to each institute after the institute has published its M.Tech. notification (usually in the month of March). There is no separate counselling held.
 
Some institutions specify GATE qualification as mandatory even for admission of self-financing students to postgraduate programs. GATE qualified candidates are also eligible for the award of [[Research fellow|Junior Research Fellowship]] in [[Council of Scientific and Industrial Research|CSIR]] Laboratories and CSIR sponsored projects. Top rank holders in some GATE papers are entitled to apply for “Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Fellowship” awarded by CSIR.
Some government organizations prescribe GATE qualification as a requirement for applying to the post of a Scientist/Engineer.
 
In recent years, various academicians have recognized GATE as being one of the toughest exams in its category. Some non-Indian universities like the [[National University of Singapore]], [[Nanyang Technological University]] in [[Singapore]] and some technical universities in [[Germany]] also identify GATE score as a parameter for judging the quality of the candidates for admission into their Masters and Ph.D. programs.
 
Some management institutes like NITIE, Mumbai offer admission to Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering on the basis of GATE score.
 
Most Indian institutes do not specify cut-off marks for previous years. So there is a general confusion in terms of selecting institutes and specializations. But in the recent years [[IIT Kharagpur]] and [[IIT Guwahati]] have been specifying last year cut-off mark list. [[Indian Institute of Technology Delhi]] has a very detailed website on [http://www.iitd.ac.in/programs/master/index.html Post Graduate (PG)] activities and admissions where students can find the relevant information on cut-off marks etc. Typically the [[Indian Institute of Science]] and [[Indian Institutes of Technology]] are the most selective followed by [[National Institutes of Technology]] and others. Also there are some state universities in India, whose standards and facilities are very much comparable to top [[Indian Institutes of Technology|IIT]]s and [[National Institutes of Technology|NIT]]s. Some of them are [[Bengal Engineering and Science University]] (recently converted to [[IIEST]]), [[Jadavpur University]], [[Delhi Technological University]], Cochin University of Science and Technology ([[CUSAT]]), [[Andhra University College of Engineering]], [[Osmania University]] and PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh etc. Even within the top institutes, the selection criteria varies widely across departments and programs depending on expertise areas. The Directorate of Technical Education of [[Maharashtra]] state has also started conducting CAP round from the year 2013 for GATE and non-GATE candidates in all institute in Maharashtra that offer M.E./M.Tech. programs.
 
==Recruitment through GATE==
 
Public sector undertakings (PSUs) in India, for long, have had troubles conducting their recruitment processes with more than 100,000 students giving the exams for less than 1000 jobs (a selection rate of less than 1%). After sensing the exponential rise in the number of engineering graduates in India who wish to get a PSU job, the PSUs have decided that a GATE score shall be the primary criteria for initial shortlisting. This change was the primary cause for the rapid increase in applicants for GATE 2012.
 
[[Indian Oil Corporation]] was the first PSU which successfully tested out this system and was followed two years later by [[National Thermal Power Corporation]], [[Bharat Heavy Electricals]], [[Bharat Electronics]] & [[PowerGrid Corporation of India]].
 
Usually these companies release their recruitment notifications right after GATE notification, indicating that candidates have to take GATE to be considered for a job in their organizations.
 
===2014===
 
As of now, the following public sector undertakings have signed [[Memorandum of understanding|Memorandums of Understanding]] (MoUs) with the GATE 2014 organizing committee, for using GATE 2014 score as a screening tool for recruiting engineers at entry level positions:<ref>http://gate.iitkgp.ac.in/gate2014/psus.php</ref>
 
[The numbers of posts mentioned are the total numbers. Of these, usually around half are reserved for candidates of [[Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes|scheduled castes (SCs), scheduled tribes (STs)]] and [[Other Backward Class|other backward classes (OBCs)]], as per the norms of the Government of India.]

Revision as of 11:37, 16 December 2013

44 years old Metal Machinist (First Course ) Kepp from Fort St. John, likes to spend time football, property developers in singapore and cigar smoking. Recollects what a splendid area it ended up having traveled to Camino Real de Tierra Adentro.

The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all-India examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in engineering and science. GATE is conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science and seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras and IIT Roorkee) on behalf of the National Coordination Board – GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD), Government of India.

The GATE score of a candidate reflects the relative performance level of a candidate. The score is used for admissions to various post-graduate programs (e.g. Master of Engineering, Master of Technology, Doctor of Philosophy) in Indian higher education institutes, with financial assistance provided by MHRD and other government agencies. Recently, GATE scores are also being used by several Indian public sector undertakings (i.e., government-owned companies) for recruiting graduate engineers in entry-level positions. It is one of the most competitive examinations in India.

Financial Assistance

A valid GATE score is essential for obtaining financial assistance during Master’s programs and direct Doctoral programs in Engineering/Technology/Architecture, and Doctoral programs in relevant branches of Science in Institutes supported by the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD) or other Government agencies. As per the directives of MHRD, the following procedure is to be adopted for admission to the post-graduate programs (Master’s and Doctoral) with MHRD scholarship/assistant-ship: Depending upon the norms adopted by a specific institute or department of the Institute, a candidate may be admitted directly into a course based on his/her performance in GATE only or based on his/her performance in GATE and an admission test / interview conducted by the department to which he/she has applied and/or the candidate’s academic record. If the candidate is to be selected through test/interview for post-graduate programs, the minimum of 70% weightage is given to the performance in GATE and the remaining 30% weightage can be given to the candidate’s performance in test/interview and/or academic record. The admitting institutes can, however, prescribe a minimum passing percentage of marks in the test/interview. Some colleges/institutes specify GATE qualification as the mandatory requirement even for admission without MHRD scholarship/assistant-ship. To avail the financial assistance (scholarship), the candidate must first secure admission to a program in these Institutes, by a procedure that could vary from institute to institute. Qualification in GATE is also a minimum requirement to apply for various fellowships awarded by many Government organizations. The criteria for postgraduate admission with scholarship/assistant-ship could be different for different institutions.[1]

General aptitude questions

Each subject's test contains 10 questions that test the "general aptitude" (language and analytic skills), apart from the core subject of the discipline.[4]

Duration and examination type

The GATE examination consists of a single test of 3-hour duration that contains a total of 65 questions, worth a maximum of 100 marks. The questions consist of both multiple choice questions (MCQs) and numerical answer type questions.[5]

From 2014 onward, the examination for all the papers is carried out in an online Computer Based Test (CBT) mode where the candidates are shown the questions in a random sequence on a computer screen. The candidates are required to either select the answer (for multiple-choice question type) or enter the answer for numerical answer type question using a mouse on a virtual keyboard (keyboard of the computer is disabled). Candidates are provided with blank paper sheets for rough work and these have to be returned back after the examination. At the end of the 3-hour window, the computer automatically closes the screen from further actions.[6]

Result

GATE results are usually declared about one month after the examinations are over. The results show the total marks scored by a candidate, the GATE score, the all-India rank and the cut off marks for various categories in the candidate's paper. The score is valid for 2 years from the date of announcement of the results. The score cards are issued to all qualified candidates.

Normalized GATE Score (new formula):[7][8]

From 2013, the GATE score is computed by a new formula.
A candidate's score is computed as: S=Sq+(St−Sq)M−MqM‾t−Mq
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,
Template:Overlinet = Average Marks of top 0.1% or 10 (which ever is higher) of candidates in the paper,
St = GATE Score assigned to Template:Overlinet (around 900), and
Sq = GATE Score assigned to Mq (around 300).

Old formula:[9]

Till GATE 2012 the score was calculated using the formula: GATE score = 10(ag+sgm−aS)

Where
m = marks obtained by the candidate.
a = average of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard in GATE for that year
S = standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard in GATE for that year
ag= global average of marks of all candidates who appeared across all papers and years
sg= global standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared across all papers and years

Qualifying Marks

The rules for qualifying marks have varied from year to year. The qualifying marks (out of 100) are different for different subjects as well as categories.

Category Qualifying mark (out of 100)
General (GN) 25 or μ + σ, whichever is higher.
Other backward classes (OBC) 90 % of general category's qualifying mark.
Scheduled castes (SC) and scheduled tribes (ST) 2/3 (i.e., 66.67 %) of general category's qualifying mark.

Here μ is the average (i.e., arithmetic mean) of marks of all candidates in the subject (with negative marks converted to zero) and σ is the standard deviation of all marks in that subject.

Usually, the general category's qualifying mark is in the 25 to 30 range.

Before 2008, when the Government of India implemented reservations for other backward classes (OBCs) in college admissions and public sector job recruitment, the OBC candidates were included in the "general" category. There was no separate OBC category then.

Difficulty level of GATE

GATE Papers, for long, have been known to test the Engineering basics in a smart way. Complaints of "lengthy" problems have been rare. But the task of mastering an entire course of Engineering (30 plus subjects) for a three hour test, itself gives the test a certain level of toughness. In GATE 2012, only 14% of all candidates qualified.

Admission to Post-Graduate programs

Unlike undergraduate admissions in India, candidates must apply individually to each institute after the institute has published its M.Tech. notification (usually in the month of March). There is no separate counselling held.

Some institutions specify GATE qualification as mandatory even for admission of self-financing students to postgraduate programs. GATE qualified candidates are also eligible for the award of Junior Research Fellowship in CSIR Laboratories and CSIR sponsored projects. Top rank holders in some GATE papers are entitled to apply for “Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Fellowship” awarded by CSIR. Some government organizations prescribe GATE qualification as a requirement for applying to the post of a Scientist/Engineer.

In recent years, various academicians have recognized GATE as being one of the toughest exams in its category. Some non-Indian universities like the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and some technical universities in Germany also identify GATE score as a parameter for judging the quality of the candidates for admission into their Masters and Ph.D. programs.

Some management institutes like NITIE, Mumbai offer admission to Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering on the basis of GATE score.

Most Indian institutes do not specify cut-off marks for previous years. So there is a general confusion in terms of selecting institutes and specializations. But in the recent years IIT Kharagpur and IIT Guwahati have been specifying last year cut-off mark list. Indian Institute of Technology Delhi has a very detailed website on Post Graduate (PG) activities and admissions where students can find the relevant information on cut-off marks etc. Typically the Indian Institute of Science and Indian Institutes of Technology are the most selective followed by National Institutes of Technology and others. Also there are some state universities in India, whose standards and facilities are very much comparable to top IITs and NITs. Some of them are Bengal Engineering and Science University (recently converted to IIEST), Jadavpur University, Delhi Technological University, Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), Andhra University College of Engineering, Osmania University and PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh etc. Even within the top institutes, the selection criteria varies widely across departments and programs depending on expertise areas. The Directorate of Technical Education of Maharashtra state has also started conducting CAP round from the year 2013 for GATE and non-GATE candidates in all institute in Maharashtra that offer M.E./M.Tech. programs.

Recruitment through GATE

Public sector undertakings (PSUs) in India, for long, have had troubles conducting their recruitment processes with more than 100,000 students giving the exams for less than 1000 jobs (a selection rate of less than 1%). After sensing the exponential rise in the number of engineering graduates in India who wish to get a PSU job, the PSUs have decided that a GATE score shall be the primary criteria for initial shortlisting. This change was the primary cause for the rapid increase in applicants for GATE 2012.

Indian Oil Corporation was the first PSU which successfully tested out this system and was followed two years later by National Thermal Power Corporation, Bharat Heavy Electricals, Bharat Electronics & PowerGrid Corporation of India.

Usually these companies release their recruitment notifications right after GATE notification, indicating that candidates have to take GATE to be considered for a job in their organizations.

2014

As of now, the following public sector undertakings have signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with the GATE 2014 organizing committee, for using GATE 2014 score as a screening tool for recruiting engineers at entry level positions:[20]

Changes in recent years

2009

  • The IT and CS papers were merged and there was no separate IT paper.
  • The GATE score was valid only for one year but later the GATE committee made it valid for two years in 2010.

2010

  • Pharmacy was no longer on the GATE subject papers list, with GPAT as the replacement. Also, the Biotechnology section of the XL GATE paper had been removed and replaced by a separate Biotechnology paper (paper code BT).
  • An additional section of General Aptitude was introduced in GATE. A total of ten questions carrying 15 marks makes up this last section of GATE.

2011

  • Based on a trouble-free pilot project in 2010, four of the GATE papers in GATE 2011 were run using computer based online mode. The four online papers for 2011 are Aerospace Engineering (paper code AE), Geology and Geophysics (paper code GG), Mining Engineering (paper code MN) and Textile Engineering (paper code TF) and Fiber Science.
  • GATE was held in morning (9-12) session for some papers and afternoon (2-5) session for others. Also, the computer based tests was held on a different date.

2012

[38]

  • Only final year students and passed-out candidates were declared eligible to take GATE. Pre-final year students, which were eligible till 2011, were no longer eligible.
  • The application process was made completely online. Candidates could view their responses of the ORS and also GATE Office released official solutions for GATE papers.
  • The admit card was made downloadable from the application website. Sending admit cards by post was discontinued.
  • The exam mode was changed from paper-based to "online" (i.e. computer-based) for 2 additional subjects: Agricultural Engineering (AG) and Architecture and Planning (AR).
  • The use of pencils to darken the bubbles in the answer sheet was discontinued. Candidates could use only black ink ball point pens for darkening of the bubbles in the answer sheet.

2013

[39]

  • Female candidates were exempted from paying the application fee.
  • Candidates were required to upload scanned copy of photograph and signature. Print-out of the completed application form was to be mailed to the institute by post.
  • The Application fee was increased from Template:Indian Rupee 1000 to Template:Indian Rupee 1200.
  • The GATE score formula was changed. Scores calculated using the old formula were effective during the year 2013-14. Scores calculated using the new formula were effective during the year 2014-15.[40]

2014

[41]

  • A new paper of "Ecology and Evolution" is introduced.
  • Examinations for all the 22 papers will be conducted by an online Computer-Based Test (CBT). The online examination paper will contain some questions for which numerical answers must be keyed in by the candidate using the "virtual" (i.e. on-screen) keypad. Rest of the questions shall be of Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) type.
  • Female candidates are required to pay some fee for application, a change introduced due to many raising complaints about a large portion of female candidates who registered but did not appear for the exam in 2013.
  • Application fee is increased from Template:Indian Rupee 1200 to Template:Indian Rupee 1500 for general category, OBC male/other candidates, and Template:Indian Rupee 750 for all female candidates and SC, ST male/other candidates.
  • Examinations will be held during forenoon and afternoon sessions on alternate weekends (Saturday and Sunday) between 1 February 2014 and 2 March 2014. Examination for some of the papers in GATE 2014 will be held in multiple sessions.
