GATE cutoff for PSU
 
GATE Cutoff for PSU: In India, many Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) companies consider GATE scores for recruitment. Candidates who want to appear in the PSU interview have to get marks above the GATE score for PSU . Apart from this, GATE-qualified candidates can also apply for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF). Candidates can check the GATE PSU Cutoff 2025 and the previous years below. IIT Roorkee released the GATE 2025 results and cutoff marks on March 19

GATE PSU cutoff for the different streams will be different. GATE (ME, EE, CE, CS, IT, Instrumentation, etc.) cutoff for PSU also varies from category to category. Without qualifying the GATE 2025 PSU Cutoff, no candidate can proceed to the interview round. However, it is important to have an idea of the GATE PSU previous year cutoff to target a score in the GATE exam
