Our Story
Founded in 2016 by Dr. Biplab Adhikary, an alumnus of Jadavpur University and IIT Kharagpur, this institute was born out of his vision to nurture engineering talent. Dr. Adhikary secured an impressive All India Rank (AIR) 63 in GATE Civil Engineering during his third year at Jadavpur University and went on to complete his M.Tech in Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture from IIT Kharagpur.
He then joined Mazagon Dock Limited (MDL) in Mumbai, where he worked as a Senior Engineer on the P15 Bravo project, helping design the Visakhapatnam-class next-generation guided-missile destroyers for the Indian Navy. With his academic expertise and industry experience, Dr. Adhikary founded the institute to inspire and mentor the next generation of engineers.
Driven by a passion for academics and research, Dr. Biplab Adhikary left his prestigious job in the defence sector to teach at two engineering colleges in Kolkata. His work on a project funded by DRDO’s Aeronautical Research and Development Board (AR&DB) eventually led him to pursue a Ph.D. at Jadavpur University. Over the years, with 13 years of experience teaching over 500 students for +2 and JEE Mathematics, he recognized the power of simple, clear explanations of complex engineering concepts to shape students’ careers.
In 2016, he began with a small group of students in his hometown of Uttarpara, Hooghly, and expanded to Jadavpur and, eventually, to an online platform in 2020 due to the COVID-19 lockdown. GATEit quickly grew, reaching students across West Bengal and neighboring Bangladesh. Many of his students have successfully cracked the GATE exam and secured places in top institutions like IITs, NITs, and IIEST Shibpur.
Responding to student demand, Dr. Adhikary also launched a successful West Bengal PSC Assistant Engineer (AE) batch in 2020, with 12 students qualifying as AEs. Following this, he introduced a comprehensive West Bengal PSC Junior Engineer (JE) course for the 2022 notification. Today, GATEit offers a range of preparatory resources—including pre-recorded content, LIVE classes, mock tests, and mock interviews—through its website and app, helping students across various technical exams achieve their goals.
