Several elements play a role in determining the GATE 2025 cut-off scores. These factors are crucial in setting the benchmark for qualifying candidates:
Difficulty Level of Exam: The complexity of the GATE exam significantly impacts the cut-off. If the exam is more challenging in a particular year, the cut-off scores tend to be lower. Conversely, an easier exam can result in higher cut-offs.
Number of Aspirants: The total number of candidates appearing for each discipline influences the cut-off marks. Higher competition usually results in increased cut-off scores, as more candidates vie for a limited number of positions.
Availability of Seats: The total number of seats available for M.Tech programs and job vacancies in Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) affects the cut-off trends. When seat availability is limited but demand is high, the cut-off scores tend to be elevated.
Previous Year Cut-Off Trends: Analyzing past years cut-offs helps in predicting the expected range for different subjects. Trends observed over previous GATE exams serve as a benchmark for setting the current cut-off.
Category-Based Reservation: GATE follows specific reservation policies for SC, ST, OBC, and EWS categories. As a result, separate cut-offs are established to ensure fair opportunities for candidates from diverse backgrounds.
