A student generally cannot get admission into IITs for M.Tech. or Ph.D. programs through GATE if their CPI falls below the minimum eligibility criteria set by the specific department/program.GATE Qualification is Just One Step: While qualifying GATE is a crucial step for admission into M.Tech. and Ph.D. programs at IITs, it's not the sole criterion. IITs have minimum eligibility requirements in terms of CPI (Cumulative Performance Index) for each program. These vary depending on the department and category (General, OBC, SC/ST etc.).IITs Set Minimum CPI Cutoff: Each department at an IIT sets a minimum CPI cutoff for applicants shortlisted based on their GATE score. This cutoff ensures students entering the programme possess a strong academic foundation in their undergraduate studies.
