i was qualified in gate 2020 ce paper with less marks i.e 330 gate score am i worthy for this job ??

Manidipa Kundu Student Expert 9th Jul, 2020

hi,

see you did not mention in which company you have applied for job or whats is the criteria, however at this score have very less chances of getting psus calls based on gate score. since cutoff score varies year to year and depends on certain factors like number of participants, questions difficulty for students, seat vacancy etc. however you may apply for mtech courses also based on your gate score.
