GATE Cut-off

In GATE, normalisation process generally makes a gap of 4 to 7 marks (approximately) between actual and normalised scores. However, if difficulty level of paper was high then the marks might increase. On other hand, for easier paper, marks may reduce offering fairness across sessions.

No, there is no subject-wise cutoff mark for GATE exam. The scores along with minimum-qualifying cutoff will be released (category-wise) along with normalised score. 

• GATE Marks out of 100
• GATE Scores out of 1000

A GATE score of 550 in mechanical engineering will fetch you a rank range of 1500 - 3000. Students with this GATE score range can opt for M.Tech at NIT Calicut, NIT Trichy, etc. 

Based on the question paper difficulty level of GATE CS 1 and CS2, it is expected that the normalisation will not be more than +-4 to 5 marks. GATE CSE paper was moderate to tough. The result will be declared on March 19. Candidates can check their qualifying status at GOAPS portal using their enrollment ID and password. 

Yes, with 50 marks in the GATE exam candidates can get admission to few IITs and NITs as well. 

For top NITs, the safe score in GATE will be roughly around 650 - 750 scores. However, it also depends on other factors, such as category, past year trends, etc.

Here are some colleges that offer M.Tech admission in CSE round -

• Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, Bilaspur
• Central University of Rajasthan
• Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology
• Central Institute of Technology, Kokrajhar
• Central University of Rajasthan
• Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, Bilaspur
• Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology

The GATE CCMT cutoff for CSE (round 1) at NIT Delhi can be checked below -

• Minimum GATE score - 668
• Maximum GATE score - 741

Yes, 65 marks in GATE is considered as good and is expected to correspond to a AIR of 800-1000. Students who secure 65 marks do have good options in getting into IITs and NITs for branches like EE, ME, CE, etc.

MTech in CSE, ECE, ME, CE, DA, and EE usually have the highest salaries in India. Many IITs and IIITs offer placement packages over 50 LPA. However, the average package remains around 20 to 30 LPA.

For subjects like EE, CE, and ME opportunities for high salaries are mainly through PSU jobs, as these are core branches.
