Securing 25 marks in GATE is just reaching the qualifying cutoff. For SC/ST or PwD applicants, 25 marks can be average and safe for securing good GFTIs. However, targeting core branches can be impossible.
In addition, 25 marks in Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering can give different results, based on the paper you have applied for.
For example, 25 marks in GATE CSE or ECE can fetch you a lower rank. While 25 marks in GATE AG or CY might give you good options during counselling (due to low competition).
