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.

GATE 2026 is an important exam for admission to M.Tech, PhD, and also for PSU recruitments. Aptitude and Engineering Mathematics play a key role as they carry significant weightage in the exam and help in improving the overall score. I’ll be attaching links with resources for both Aptitude and Engineering Mathematics so you can practice well and prepare effectively.

If you are preparing for GATE 2026 in Electronics and Communication, I’ll be attaching useful resources that include practice questions and study material based on the latest syllabus. Since GATE is a national-level exam for M.Tech admissions, PSU jobs, and higher studies, these resources will help you focus on important topics, improve problem-solving skills, and get exam-ready.
