Each institute will release the admission cutoffs after each round of the COAP 2025 counselling. The GATE qualifying cutoff is different from the admission cutoff of different institutes. The GATE cutoff for IIT will vary for each category. Various factors, like the total number of available seats, the total number of students who have attempted the GATE 2025 exam, average score, difficulty of paper and previous year trends, influence the GATE 2025 cutoff. Also, previous year's GATE cutoff for IIT and NIT has been provided on this page. Candidates can check the IIT GATE cut-off below. Go through the article to learn more about the GATE exam cutoff.
Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee has released the GATE 2025 cutoffs. Candidates can check the paper-wise GATE 2025 in the table below.

Candidates can check the cutoff for GATE 2025 on this page. GATE cutoff 2025 will be available for EC, CS, MA, DA, PH, CH, MN and all other papers. It is important to note that two types of cutoffs will be released for the GATE exam: the qualifying GATE 2025 cutoff and the admission cutoff for GATE 2025. The differences between the qualifying and admission cutoff marks 2025 of GATE are specified below.
GATE 2025 Qualifying Cutoff Vs GATE 2025 Admission Cutoff: Students appearing in GATE must know the difference between the GATE qualifying cutoff 2025 and GATE 2025 admission cutoff.
GATE cutoff marks for IIT and NIT will be released in the form of opening and closing ranks. After the declaration of GATE results, IITs and NITs will start the MTech admission process separately. The admission is done through JoSAA 2025 counselling. After the application and interview, institutes will release the GATE opening and closing rank.

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.
The analysis given below depicts the changes in the qualifying GATE Cutoff 2020 vs 2019. 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.

We have provided the previous year GATE cutoff marks for IIT below. Candidates can check the GATE cutoff for IIT CSE, Mechanical, EE, ECE, Civil and other courses. Candidates can refer to the table to know the GATE cutoff for IITs based on category.
Institute | GATE cutoff marks for IIT |
|---|---|
The previous year GATE cutoff marks for NIT have been provided here. The latest cutoffs will be added here once released by the authorities. Candidates can refer to the following table to check the GATE Cutoff for top NITs.
The exam conducting authority considers several factors to deduce the final GATE cut off marks. Below is the list of factors that determine the GATE exam cutoff marks
IIT Roorkee will release the GATE qualifying cutoff while the admission cutoff will be released by the participating institutes. GATE qualifying marks are the minimum cutoff to qualify for the entrance test to be eligible for the admission process. The qualifying marks of GATE 2025 will vary for each category. On the other hand, the GATE admission cutoff will be released by COAP and CCMT. Candidates who rank in GATE more than the admission cutoff will be offered admission.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
