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.
