How is the GATE question paper made? Where do they get the questions?

Many of Student / aspirants generally think how the GATE question papers are MADE ? i.e. which process or steps are followed in maintaining the quality of gate question papers?

I also want  to know the answer of the question above that how the gate papers are being framed.So some time ago, i got the opportunity to meet some professors from IITs and discussed this question with them and the answer I got is written below.

They told me that Firstly out of IISc and the seven IITs one of them is responsible to conduct the gate exam successfully. And this process repeats in a loop means same IIT will conduct exam after seven years.

NOW the second part i.e. Question picking, this is done by gate organizing IIT. That IIT requests the best professor's across all domains of all IITs to give bunch of good questions which can be asked in the exam like GATE.

Now Organizing IIT will end up with a lot of good questions. Again from those good question a committee of organizing IIT will  decides few bunch of questions according to their criteria and need of the paper and pattern.

Finally from that filtered lot of of questions computer randomly select and shuffles questions which can be finally asked  in the paper and appears in front of you on the exam day.

Hope it clears the confusion.
