Commonly asked questions
Q: What are the factors deciding the GATE 2025 cutoff?
Upvote Q: How to check the GATE Cut Off 2025?
Upvote Q: Will the GATE cutoff 2025 remain the same as the previous year?
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.

Upvote 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, available on GOAPS. On the other hand, the individual participating institutes release the admission cutoffs, which are available on their respective counselling portals- CCMT/ COAP.
