As per the notification, the registration process for GATE 2025 will start on August 28, 2025 . The registration link will be available on the official website, gate2025.iitr.ac.in. Before applying, candidates must check the GATE 2025 eligibility criteria

Yes, you can definitely prepare for the GATE exam in Civil Engineering even though you are a Biotechnology graduate. There are no restrictions on educational background for appearing in the GATE exam, you can choose any stream you're interested in. However, it will be a challenging path  because the GATE Civil Engineering syllabus covers subjects very different from Biotechnology.

The GATE Civil Engineering syllabus includes subjects like Engineering Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Structural Analysis, Geotechnical Engineering , which you likely haven't studied in detail during your Biotechnology degree.

You need to dedicate significant time and effort to grasp these new concepts and practice solving related problems.

Utilize resources like standard Civil Engineering textbooks, online courses, or coaching institutes to build a strong foundation in these core subjects. Practice solving problems from previous years' GATE Civil Engineering exams to get familiar with the question format and difficulty level.

Create a study schedule that allocates sufficient time for understanding new concepts, practicing problems, and revising.

Yes, clearing the GATE SC/ST cutoff with a valid scorecard makes you eligible for certain benefits, though it might differ slightly from the General category.

You are eligible for admission to M.Tech programs offered by many Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutes (CFTIs) through the GATE score. However, some institutes might have additional cutoffs or weightages specifically for SC/ST candidates within their allotted seats.

A few universities might consider GATE scores for M.Sc. programs in science streams as well. Check with the specific universities you are interested in.

I hope it helps!

Hello Anjali,

With a GATE score of 357 in the SC category, securing admission to the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program at NIT Delhi might be challenging, but it’s not impossible. Here are some considerations:

1. Previous Year Cutoffs:

• NIT Delhi CSE Cutoffs: Typically, NIT Delhi has higher cutoffs for CSE, often ranging from 600 and above. Your score of 357 might be lower than the typical cutoff for the General category.
  
  
• SC Category Relaxation: There is usually a relaxation for SC/ST categories, so cutoffs are lower compared to the General category. Check previous years’ cutoffs for SC category specifically for a more accurate assessment.
  
  2. Other NITs and Institutions:
  
  
• Other NITs: If admission to NIT Delhi seems uncertain, consider applying to other NITs or institutes where the cutoff may be lower.
  
  
• Other Institutes: Many other engineering institutes also accept GATE scores and may have cutoffs that are more achievable with your score.
  
  3. Special Considerations:
  
  
• Application Process: Keep track of the application process and deadlines for NIT Delhi and other institutions.
  
  
• Counseling: During the counseling process, make sure to select NIT Delhi and other institutions you are interested in, as sometimes seats become available in later rounds.

Hello Pavan,

With a GATE score of 260 in 2024 , admission to Osmania University (OU) for M.Tech may be challenging, especially in core branches like Computer Science, Electrical, or Mechanical, as OU typically has higher cutoffs for these popular streams.

However, here’s what you can consider:

1. Less Competitive Branches : If you're open to branches that are less in demand, like Environmental Engineering or Metallurgy, you might have a better chance.
   
   

2. Category Reservation : If you belong to a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC), you may benefit from a lower cutoff.
   
   

3. Later Rounds : Participating in all rounds of counseling might increase your chances, as cutoff scores sometimes drop in subsequent rounds.
   
   

4. Alternate Options : If OU is your priority, also consider applying to affiliated colleges under OU, which may have slightly lower cutoffs.

Be sure to attend the counseling sessions and monitor seat availability for the best chances.

Good luck!
