The respective IIT conducting authority usually take 25 to 30 days to release GATE exam results. First, the authorities will announce the result, where candidates can login and check their qualifying status.
In previous years, the authorities used to announce final answer key, result, AIR and qualifying mark on different dates.
Then after a few days, the authorities will publish qualifying GATE cutoff marks for all 30 subjects along with respective branch AIR. After that, within three to four days, GATE scorecard will be available for download at GOAPS login.

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.

No, the question papers released by coaching institutes are prepared using memory based questions from students who appear in the exam. They are not the actual papers. The official/actual papers are released only by the organising institute.
