How Many Students Qualified in the GATE Exam OUT: Results (OUT), Check Branch-wise cutoff marks, etc.

GATE qualifying cutoff is the institute eligibility cutoff, and on the other hand, the GATE admission cutoff ensures a call for admission at IITs, NITs, IITs, and CFTIs. Check below in detail:

GATE Qualifying Cutoff: It is the minimum mark a candidate must score so that he or she is eligible for admission. But this does not mean that a candidate is selected for admission. Actually, it is fixed before the announcement of GATE results. It is announced by the conducting IIT and available on GOAPS. It includes qualifying marks for each paper.

Admission GATE Cutoffs: It is the final opening and closing rank score fixed by the participating institutes for the selection of candidates. It is to be noted here that meeting the admission GATE cutoff does not mean that the candidates will be selected for admission. It is fixed after the GATE result date. It is declared by the individual participating institutes and available on their respective counselling portals (CCMT/ COAP).

Some NITs have lower cutoff scores than others, so you may get in better if you apply to less competitive NITs. It is advisable to target for certain branches or specializations that have lower demand, leading to a lower cutoff score. 

IIT Roorkee will release the GATE cutoff along with the announcement of results. The GATE 2025 results will be released on March 19, 2025. Candidates can access their results on the GOAPS portal using their enrollment ID and password.

GATE CSE is considered the most demanding branch in GATE M.Tech admissions. Due to high competition, the cutoff is usually high in top-ranked institutes. 80+ marks, out of 100, is the safe score in GATE computer Science and information technology. Candidates can get admissions to top IITs and NITs with this score.

The GATE branches/subject codes that demand for the highest GATE cutoff scores are -

• Computer Science and Information Technology
• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Electronics and Communication Engineering

The difference between the GATE qualifying marks and admission cutoff is as follows -

• Qualifying Marks: Minimum score needed to pass GATE.
• Admission Cutoff: The score required to get into specific institutions

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.
