This page mentions the details on the minimum GATE score for government jobs, such as those of PSUs. As observed in previous year data, the GATE cutoff score varies widely between different categories, branches, roles, types of organisation and reservation categories. The minimum score for GATE recruitment will be high for a general category candidate. They may get a government job with a 650+ score. However, the range is too wide to generalise. Hence, all aspirants are advised to check the last few years’ minimum GATE PSU score to get an idea.

Check the following tables for the GATE score for PSU recruitment. However, note that not all the PSUs release the GATE cutoff in the form of a score. Some, like NTPC, release the rank details, organisations like POWERGRID, THDC, and BARC release the cutoff as marks. Hence, check the given data with reference to the GATE result. Also, there are several other aspects that affect the final recruitment other than GATE scores like the interview/group discussion marks.
