A category-wise GATE cutoff mark is the minimum qualifying mark required by candidates in different categories to qualify for the GATE exam or secure admission in M.Tech programs at IITs, NITs, and other institutes. The cutoff can vary for various disciplines and is determined based on factors like the difficulty level of the exam, the number of applicants, and the availability of seats.
The cutoff mark is generally divided into the following -
Qualifying cutoff - The minimum score needed to be eligible for the exam, released by IISc/IITs.
Admission cutoff - The score required for M.Tech admissions is set by individual institutes.

No, a GATE score of 40 marks is relatively low for IITs and popular branches like CSE, ME, EE, and ME. The score is considered below average. However, if you score around 40 marks in GATE, you can opt for a branch or institution with less competition. Otherwise, you can attempt GATE next year with more practice and revision.
