Kolkata: GATE 2025 cutoff scores are subject to annual fluctuations, influenced by several key factors: the total number of candidates, the number of available seats, and the overall difficulty level of the examination. For SC/ST candidates, the cutoff scores are generally lower than those for the general category. However, these scores remain branch-specific and are contingent upon the collective performance of SC/ST candidates in that particular year.

Similarly, SC/ST candidates typically experience lower cutoff scores. While a general range of 15-25 marks is often observed, it's crucial to understand that these scores are branch-dependent and subject to variations based on the overall performance of SC/ST candidates in the respective GATE paper.
