How the GATE ME Cut Off Calculated?

The GATE 2025 cut off for ME is influenced by various factors including the total number of test takers, the availability of seats, the difficulty level of the exam, and the performance of the applicants. Let us examine these factors for additional details:

  • GATE ME Paper Difficulty Level: The difficulty level of the question paper significantly influences the GATE ME Cut Off. If the paper is considered challenging, the scores decrease, resulting in a lower cut-off.
  • Number of GATE Exam Applicants: The number of aspirants appeared for the examination also plays a crucial role in determining the GATE ME Cut Off. As more people take the test, competition increases and the GATE cut off for ME increases proportionately.
  • Seat Availability: The total number of seats available for M.Tech. or other admissions is declared by several participating universities, including IITs and NITs. As a result, as seat availability increases, this could decrease the GATE ME Cut off 2025, and vice versa.
  • Applicant Category: Different groups, such as SC, ST, and PwD have different GATE ME cut-off 2025. The cut-off requirements for candidates in these reserved categories will therefore be somewhat lower than those in unreserved categories.

GATE ME Cut Off 2025 - Rank Vs Marks

GATE 2025 Marks vs Rank Analysis provides applicants with their expected ranks depending on their performance. The table below summarizes the expected Marks vs. Rank analysis for the GATE ME Exam 2025.

GATE ME Cutoff 2025 - Rank Vs Marks
Rank Marks
1-10 92+
10-50 87-92

5000-10000 51-63

Aspirants must distinguish between GATE rank and score. Assume a student with 67 points and a GATE score of 810 is likely to earn a rank near 170 in Mechanical Engineering. Similarly, an applicant expecting a rank of less than 1000 has a strong chance of getting into a preferred branch in NITs. However, in order to progress in the admission process, a student must prepare for an interview and GD.

GATE ME Cutoff 2025 - Rank Vs Institute

While cut-off marks may vary from year to year, the rank required for admission to a specific college and course is nearly the same because seats for a specific course do not change on a regular basis. Thus, in order to gain admission to IISc and Top IITs, an AIR rank of about 100 in GATE 2025 is recommended.

GATE ME Cutoff 2025 - Rank Vs Institutes
Name of the Institute(s) Required GATE Rank
Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (1) For Direct Admission: AIR < 100 (2) For some courses: ≤ AIR ≤ 600
