Factors Affecting GATE Cutoff for IIT Kanpur

IIT Kanpur relies on several factors to prepare the GATE cutoff. These factors will help the premier institute to come up with a discipline-wise cutoff for M.Tech courses. Some of the factors that IIT Kanpur consider while preparing the IIT Kanpur cutoff MTech are listed below: -

  • Previous year IIT Kanpur MTech GATE cutoff.

  • Total number of seats available in the selected/ preferred course.

  • The total number of students who applied and appeared for the GATE entrance exam.

  • GATE exam and its level of difficulty.

  • Total number of applications received in a specific course.

Apart from IIT Kanpur, all other IITs follow similar factors for preparing the GATE cutoff. However, there are other factors apart from the above, and these factors may change from time to time. The students must make sure that the IIT Kanpur MTech GATE cutoff is not the same every year, and it changes from time to time.

Dear student, If you are doing your final year in BTech Pharmaceutical Technology and looking forward to attending NIPER institutes for admission to postgraduate-level courses like MBA Pharm or MTech Pharm, then the GPAT exam is mandatory. Generally, MBA Pharm/ MS Pharm/ M.Pharm admissions to NIPER colleges are based on combined merit in the common entrance exam (85%) followed by Group discussion (15%).

NIPER uses the GPAT result to determine admission to different pharmacy courses. For some programs, NIPER administers its own entrance exam (NIPER JEE exam); nonetheless, GPAT is typically the main criterion. The detailed admissions criteria …

Dear Student,

Agar aap ka GATE score 530 hain, to NIT Durgapur, IIIT Bihar aur IITDM Kurnool mein Data Science & Artificial Intelligence course ke liye admission mil sakta hain. Agar aap OPEN Category se belong karte hain, toh NIT Durgapur mein aap ko shayad admission na mile, but OBC-NCL/ EWS ategory mein admission mil sakti hain. Aap doosre NIT colleges accepting GATE score 500-600 bhi check kar sakte hain. Unfortunately, GATE score 530 pe aap ko kisi bhi IIT mein admission nahi milegi. 

We hope this answers your query. Good luck!
