How do gate exams work?

A gate exam sits before a level in the competency framework, and an employee has to pass it before they can be recorded at that level. It is scored against the topics and requirements defined for that level, so rather than simply marking that time has passed, passing means the framework has evidence the person actually meets the bar.
