GATE Cut off 2025: IIT has released the GATE cut-off every year. The cutoff list will be released after the declaration of the GATE result. Candidates who wish to secure admission through GATE must aim to score good marks. The IIT who will conduct GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test Engineering) will release the GATE paper-wise cutoff list. Cut off is the minimum score that a candidate must get to seek admission. It is important for the candidate to score equal to or above the cutoff. Hence, candidates must study properly to make sure that they come out with flying colours. In this article, we will discuss GATE previous year cut off, factors determining cutoff, etc. So, keep on reading the article.

GATE Counselling 2025
After the release of the cutoff list, qualifying candidates must appear for counselling. CCMT and COAP conduct the GATE counselling. The counselling methods of GATE differ from each other depending on the institute. The Admission is on the basis of the candidate’s GATE scores. In order to get admission into IIT, candidates have to apply through COAP. However, for NIT Admissions, candidates must apply via CCMT.
Admission to M.Tech courses is on the basis of GATE scores. However, there are some institutes that may take a written test or interview.
