GATE Cutoff 2023 - IIT Kanpur released the GATE 2023 cutoff on the official website gate.iitk.ac.in. The cutoff for GATE 2023 is available on this page. Candidates can check the qualifying marks for the GATE exam through the GATE cutoff. The cutoff is different for each course and category of candidates. Those who secured more marks than the GATE cutoff 2023 have been declared qualified. The GATE 2023 cutoff for CSE was 32.5 (GEN), for ECE was 29.9 (GEN) and for CE was (26.6). Applicants who appeared for the GATE exam
Candidates who meet the GATE cutoff are eligible to participate in the counselling process for admission to M.Tech courses. It is important to note that the GATE qualifying cutoff is different from the admission cutoff. Those who seek IIT admission have to register for the GATE COAP. For admission to NITs, IIEST Shibpur, and some IIITs and CFTIs, the authority conducts CCMT counselling.
The GATE cutoff is broadly divided into two parts- the qualifying cutoff and the admission cutoff. The qualifying cutoff is the minimum cutoff required for passing the GATE examination. The admission cutoffs are the minimum marks required for admission into a particular course and institute. Candidates can check the GATE cutoff 2023 for various courses and categories below.

On Question asked by student community
Hello,
Yes, you as a Bachelor of Science graduate in home science can appear for the GATE 2026 exam, as the eligibility criteria include graduates from "Science" and other fields, as well as those in the 3rd year or higher of an undergraduate program.
I hope it will clear your query!!
Hey! The GATE exam (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) is very important for long-term career growth. It opens opportunities for postgraduate studies (M.Tech, MS, PhD) in top institutes like IITs and NITs and is also used by many public sector companies (PSUs) for recruitment, often with higher salary packages. In the long run, qualifying GATE can enhance your technical knowledge, career prospects, and credibility in the engineering field.
If your GATE application shows failed status even after a successful payment, don’t worry, this usually happens due to server or transaction update delays. First, wait for 24–48 hours as sometimes the status gets updated automatically. If it still shows failed, you should raise a query through the GATE application portal by providing your enrollment ID and payment receipt or transaction details. You can also contact the GATE zonal office via email or helpline with proof of payment. Keeping a screenshot of the payment success message will also help in resolving the issue quickly.

BEST REGARDS
Hey! The qualifying cutoff for GATE CSE in 2025 was around 29.2 marks for General, 26.2 for OBC/EWS, and 19.4 for SC/ST/PwD. For GATE 2026, the official cutoff is not declared yet, but if we look at the past trends, it usually stays around 30–32 marks for General category. So, if you are preparing, it’s better to target a score well above this range to be on the safer side.
