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.
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 |
Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi Indian Institute of Technology, Madras | (1) For Direct Admission: AIR < 100 (2) For some courses: ≤ AIR ≤ 300 |
