OBC candidates receive a 10% relaxation in GATE 2025 cutoff scores compared to the General category. Read article to get OBC category cutoffs.
Kolkata: GATE 2025 results released on March 19, 2025, along with the category-wise cutoff marks by the exam conducting body. GATE 2025 cutoff determine eligibility for postgraduate admissions (such as ME, MTech, and PhD programs) as well as public sector job opportunities. Candidates must meet the specified cutoffs to qualify for further processes.
GATE cutoff is determined by several key factors, such as the number of available seats, the total number of candidates who appeared for the exam, and the difficulty level of the GATE 2025 exam. These elements collectively influence the cutoff marks, which are used to assess eligibility for postgraduate admissions (like ME, MTech, and PhD programs) and public sector job opportunities. The cutoff ensures a fair and standardized evaluation process for all candidates.
IISc will announce the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2025 qualifying cutoffs for OBC candidates along with the GATE 2025 results. Only those candidates who score above the minimum cutoff will be eligible for admissions or recruitment opportunities. In this article, we have shared the expected GATE 2025 cutoff marks based on previous year trends, the difficulty level of the exam, and subject-wise analysis.
Candidates can refer to the section-wise GATE 2025 cutoff expected in the table provided below for a clearer understanding.
