Yes, GATE 2026 answer key, response sheet and question paper is now available for download at GOAPS portal.

Yes, GATE is a mandatory entrance exam for CGC Landran M.Tech admissions. The selection of candidates for the M.Tech course is done during the PTU counseling. During the PTU counseling round, CGC Landran will look at the GATE score obtained by a candidate to decide their admission.

Scoring 700 marks in GATE is considered great. It can roughly estimate around 60 to 70 marks in GATE out of 100. With 700 marks, students have high chances to get admission to IITs, NITs, and for PSUs even. 

A GATE score of 500 can be roughly around 40 to 50 raw scores out of 100 marks. However, it can vary depending for each engineering discipline. For example, for CSE it can be around 45 to 56 marks, for mechanical engineering it can correspond around 46 - 55, and for ECE it can roughly correspond around 50 to 60 marks depending on the paper difficulty level.

Honestly speaking, chances are very low.

With 75% in boards and 26 percentile in JEE Main, getting admission to Thapar University (TIET) for BTech is unlikely, even in lower-demand branches. Thapar's cut-offs are usually much higher, especially for JEE-based admissions.

You might have a very slim chance only if:

• Seats remain vacant in later counselling rounds

• You're open to non-core / less demanded branches

• You have Punjab domicile or reserved category

After filling and submitting LPU NEST application form, candidates must book slot to appear for the exam. During slot booking, candidates can select exam centre, date and time from available options. Exam slot allotment is done on first come first serve basis. Exam centre is allotted by authorities based on centre preferences entered by the candidate during the slot booking.
