GATE Cutoff 2021

GATE Cutoff 2021: GATE is an All India examination administered conducted in eight zones across the country by the GATE Committee. The GATE score is used for admissions to PG Programmes in institutes like IITs and IISc etc and PSUs also use the GATE scores for recruiting candidates for various prestigious jobs. The cut off marks will be declared differently by each participating institute and it will also be distinct for different courses. Various public and private sector undertakings that consider GATE scores for employment purposes will also declare their own cut off marks. The cut off marks will be published on the official website.

GATE Cutoff 2021

For graduate aptitude test in engineering, the cutoff marks will be decided by a committee constituted by the IIT council. The applicants who will fulfill the requirements of cut off marks of a particular institute/course will be termed eligible to take part in the admission process further. The 2 components will be involved in cut off GATE 2021, Cut off marks and cut off the rank. The cut off the rank is nothing but the rank corresponding to the GATE 2021 cutoff scores. A merit list will be prepared based on cut off marks for shortlisting applicants for counselling and admission.

Factors Deciding GATE Cutoff 2021

• Number of applicants
• Number of available seats
• Previous year’s cut off
• The difficulty level of GATE paper
