GATE Cut-off

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. 

The details regarding the total number students obtaining full marks in GATE 2026 will be available along with result. Candidates will be able to check complete stats on official website as well as here on this page.

IIT Guwahati will release GATE CSE topper 2026 after the announcement of result. Once released, candidates will be able to check GATE CSE 2026 topper's name, AIR, along with raw marks and GATE 2026 scores. 

Candidates can check their result at gate2026.iitg.ac.in. To access result link of GATE 2026, enrollment ID and password is required.

The GATE 2026 cutoff varies every year. The organising institute (IIT Guwahati) determines cutoff based on certain factors - number of registered candidates, question paper difficulty, normalisation process, seat intake, etc.

• If the GATE question paper is tough, then the cutoff is likely to be low. 
• On the other hand, if the GATE question paper is easy, then the cutoff may get high.
