Q:   Will the GATE cutoff 2025 remain the same as the previous year?

A:

The authority revises the GATE cutoff every year. The GATE 2025 cutoff will be released along with the result. Although the cutoff might remain the same for two consecutive years, the conducting IIT releases a revised cutoff every year. An aspirant cannot qualify for the exam on the basis of the previous year's GATE cutoff. The number of applicants for the GATE exam varies every year. Therefore, on average, around one million students register for the exam. These students came from different educational backgrounds, like engineering, Science, and mathematics. Basically, GATE is a gateway for those candidates who want to take admission into several postgraduate programs in engineering, technology, and Science fields offered by prestigious institutes, including IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other universities across the country. Also secures employment in public sector undertakings that recruit candidates based on their GATE score.

Factors determining GATE 2025 Cutoff

GATE is one of the major exams for postgraduate courses in India. It is highly competitive, with over 8 lac students registering annually. Many factors will drive the GATE 2025 cut-off, such as-

Number of candidates 

The number of candidates appearing for the GATE 2025 exam will greatly impact the cut-off. Some Engineering branches are more demanding than others, so the competition for those branches is higher than for other branches. This leads to higher cut-offs in those GATE papers. For example, the number of candidates appearing for the Computer Science and Information Technology (CS & IT) paper is higher than the number of candidates for other papers, so the GATE CS cut-off could also go higher, considering other factors.

Number of Seats Available

Candidates must know that the GATE cut-off is not similar to the cut-off for admission to a particular institute, such as IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, etc. These institutes release their cut-off for admission to courses offered to GATE-qualified candidates. Seat availability is a crucial factor behind the admission cut-off of the particular institute. Candidates should understand that the fewer seats available, the higher the cut-off may be.

Difficulty Level of Exam 

The difficulty level of the GATE question paper affects the cut-off. Candidates must know that for easier question papers, most candidates will be able to score well, and the cut-off will be high, and vice versa for difficult papers.

Category of Candidate 

Candidates must know that the GATE cut-off rank for 2025 will vary for different categories. As per previous trends, the open category has the highest cut-off, and SC/ ST/ PwD has the lowest cut-off. Candidates must consider the impact of category in the cut-off rank for different institutes such as IITs, NITs, and IIITs.

GATE 2025 Cutoff: Difference between Qualifying and Admission Cutoff

Candidates need to understand the difference between admission and qualifying cutoff. The GATE qualifying cutoff is the institute eligibility cutoff, while the GATE admission cutoff ensures a call for admission at IITs, NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs. The conducting authority releases the qualifying GATE cutoff, which is available on GOAPS. On the other hand, the individual participating institutes release the admission cutoffs, which are available on their respective counselling portals- CCMTCOAP.

Check Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) related to GATE cutoff 2025.

Q:   What was the last year's GATE cut-off for M.Tech. at the College of Engineering, Pune?

A:
In order to get admission in M.Tech in college of engineering Pune you need to clear the GATE cut off. The last year GATE cut off for admission in the college of engineering is 337 (432) for General category in Geo-Technical Engineering (Nonsponsered) 746 (63.60) for General category in Geo-Technical Engineering (sponsored) Environmental and Water Resources Engineering [Non Sponsored] - 222 (473) Environmental and Water Resources Engineering [Sponsored] - 980 (56.47) Computer Engineering [Non Sponsored] - 259 (457) Computer Engineering [Sponsored] - 302 (70.30) Thermal Engineering [Non Sponsored]- 39 (590) Thermal Engineering [ Sponsored]- 993 (59.87) etc. To know more read: https://www.shiksha.com/engineering/gate-exam-cutoff

Q:   If a student qualifies for GATE 2024, will he or she be able to get admission to IIT Bombay?

A:
No, a qualifying exam doesn't ensure admission to a particular institute. For admission to a certain institute, candidates have to score above the qualifying cutoff and appear for the counselling and admission process. The GATE cutoff for IIT varies according to the category of the candidates. It is to be noted that admission to IIT is based on factors including the cutoffs of the institute and branch in which admission is desired. Therefore, we can say that there is no minimum GATE score for IIT. The Indian Institutes of Technology Kanpur released the GATE 2023 cutoff for all 29 papers along with the GATE 2023 result.

Q:   What is the GATE cut-off for M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering?

A:
The GATE 2024 cutoff for IIT will be announced separately by each institute at the time of admissions. The cutoff is the minimum mark required to be eligible for admission to the M.Tech. Program. It is significant for a candidate to meet the GATE cutoff marks along with the admission cutoff announced in the form of closing ranks. Check below for the GATE cutoff category-wise for Mechanical Engineering. GATE 2023 General: 28.4 OBC (NCL)/EWS - 25.5 SC/ST/PwD - 18.9 GATE 2022 General: 25 OBC (NCL)/EWS - 25.2 SC/ST/PwD - 16.6 GATE 2021 Highest Score - 979 Highest Marks (out of 100) - 93.22 Avg.
