Engineering Entrance Exam

After WBJEE result, counselling process will start. Qualified candidates have to register for counselling to be eligible for seat allotment.

Candidates must be very careful in filling JEE Advanced application form as the correction facility is not provided post the last date of registration. It is thus advised that candidates verify all the details they fill in the form at least once and make the corrections before the last date to apply. 

If the PwD certificate is valid and issued by the competent authority, it will be considered for availing the reservation. However, it is advsied to get the UDID card before admission process.

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).

Candidates with benchmark disabilities are eligible to avail scribe facility. For this, they have to first mark their PwBD status/category in application form. Candidates can bring their own scribe or can take the facility from the organizing institute. 

GATE qualification is relatively low compared to other postgraduate engineering entrance exams. On average, acceptance rate falls between 15 - 20%. 

Last year, as per statistical report, out of 936019 registered candidates, 747319 candidates appeared, and 8761 students qualified. 

Overall, general cutoff usually remains around 25 -30 marks out of 100 marks. However, for PSUs 75 to 85 marks are considered as a safe qualifying rate. 

The procedure to apply for IIT JEE Adv includes four main steps

No, objections cannot be raised after the declaration of GATE results. Candidates can only challenge provisional answer key. 

In case of failed JEE Advanced application fee payment, the money deited from account will be credited back to the account within 24-hours. In case the money is not recieved back, they can contact the JEE Adv official through email or phone.

After the declaration of GATE result, the qualified candidates will have to participate in counselling process. It must be noted that, IIT Guwahati does not conduct GATE counselling. 

Admission counselling is done by COAP and CCMT portals. 

• Common Offer Acceptance Portal (COAP) is the centralised portal for counselling used by IITs and IISc that allow GATE qualified candidates to view and accept choices for M.Tech or PSU jobs based on their scores. 

• On the other hand, CCMT (Centralised counselling for MTech/MArch/M.Plan) portal used for offering M.Tech admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs.
