GATE Cutoff Analysis (2021 vs 2020)

On analysing the GATE cutoff for the year 2021 and 2020; the cutoffs for most of the subjects were decreased from the previous year. For example, the GATE cutoff for CSE was 28.5 in 2020 while it decreased to 26.1 in 2021. Seeing the trend, candidates can predict the GATE CSE 2023 expected cutoff.

GATE Cutoff Analysis (2020 vs 2019)

The analysis given below depicts the changes in the qualifying GATE Cutoff 2020 vs 2019. While the official GATE result statistics have announced that only 18.8% of candidates have qualified in the exam. There have been many surprises in the GATE cutoffs with many showing a drastic lowering and some showing an increase. Only Mathematics has shown no changes in the GATE cutoff. Candidates can check the table for GATE

Questions related to GATE

Have a question related to GATE ?

A GATE score of 429 in Electrical Engineering (EE) is considered a valid and qualifying score; this means you have successfully cleared the GATE exam and are eligible to apply for various M.Tech programs in Electrical Engineering at different institutes depending on their specific cut-off marks.

If you are belongs to General category then it will be very tough to get admission in prestigious NITs. Then you can wait for spot counselling.


Thank you.

Yes, you can pursue an MTech in an IIT after qualifying for the GATE exam and graduating with a B.Sc. in Mathematics from Delhi University:

GATE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

You can take the GATE exam after completing a Bachelor's degree in any field.

To get admission to an IIT for an MTech, you must qualify for the GATE exam and choose a field of study. The IIT you'll study at depends on your preference and GATE score.

You can also apply for other entrance exams like AP PGECET, TS PGECET, and VITMEE. If you want to get admission to the regular PG programmes in engineering, pharmacy, and technology.

Some colleges may require you to pass personal interview rounds.

Some IITs may also offer direct admission to MTech without the GATE exam. For example, IITs may admit students who are funded by their jobs.

GOOD LUCK!!

Hi Shubhradev,

MSc students can indeed crack GATE and potentially land PSU jobs, though opportunities may be more limited compared to engineering graduates. Some PSUs do recruit MSc graduates with valid GATE scores, but eligibility criteria vary among organizations. Hence..

Yes, you can apply for PSU (Public Sector Undertaking) jobs with a valid GATE rank, even if you are pursuing an MSc in Electronics and Communication. While many PSUs primarily prefer candidates with a BTech or BE, several PSUs accept MSc graduates in specific disciplines like Electronics, Communication, and related fields.

The eligibility criteria can vary by PSU, so it's important to check the specific requirements for each organization. Some PSUs may allow MSc graduates to apply, especially if the GATE exam is in the relevant engineering discipline (like Electronics and Communication).

Keep an eye on PSU job notifications, as they often list specific qualifications and degree requirements. If you meet the criteria and have a good GATE score, you could have opportunities in various PSUs. You can check more on the given website of Careers360. All the best!

Hello,

Based on your GATE 2024 score of 226 in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) under the SC category, securing admission to IITs may be challenging due to the following considerations:

  • Qualifying Marks : The GATE 2024 qualifying cutoff for ECE in the SC category was 16.6 marks.

  • Admission Cutoffs : Admission cutoffs for IITs are typically higher than the qualifying marks and vary across institutes and specializations. For instance, in previous years, the cutoff scores for SC candidates in ECE-related M.Tech programs at IITs ranged significantly higher than your score.

  • Competition and Seat Availability : Admission to IITs is highly competitive, and candidates with higher GATE scores are generally preferred.

Recommendations :

  • Explore Other Institutes : Consider applying to National Institutes of Technology (NITs) or other reputable engineering colleges where the cutoff scores may align more closely with your GATE score.

  • Review Specific Cutoffs : Research the previous years' cutoffs for the specific institutes and programs you're interested in to assess your chances accurately.

  • Enhance Qualifications : If feasible, consider improving your GATE score in future attempts to increase the likelihood of admission to your desired institute.

While admission to IITs with a GATE score of 226 in the SC category is unlikely, exploring alternative institutes and programs can provide valuable opportunities for your academic and professional growth.

Hope it helps !

it is true that many Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) recruit candidates based on their performance in the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) exam, meaning you can get a PSU job through the GATE exam with msc electronics and communication essentially, a good GATE score opens doors to various PSU recruitment opportunities.

If you have high ranks like in top 300,than only you can get job in PSUs(Powergrid,BHEL,ONGC,NTPC etc.)

If your rank is under 2000 you can do masters from IITs/NITs with 12400 stipened per month. I addition with this Many private companies also consider if you are gate qualified for their recruitment.so its a win win situation if you crack gate with good rank.

You can use GATE TIPS AMD TRICKS to achieve good rank for PSUs recruitment.
