Q:   What are passing marks in GATE exam?

Passing marks in GATE exam is different for all 30 papers. The GATE qualifying mark for PSUs recruitment is also different. Candidates appearing in any GATE paper have to obtain the minimum mark in order to be declared qualified for the exam.

Candidates can check the previous year GATE cutoff for various papers on the Shiksha page or from the GATE official website.

Q:   Can I get into IIT with 40 marks in GATE?
A:

No, a GATE score of 40 marks is relatively low for IITs and popular branches like CSE, ME, EE, and ME. The score is considered below average. However, if you score around 40 marks in GATE, you can opt for a branch or institution with less competition. Otherwise, you can attempt GATE next year with more practice and revision.
