GATE Cutoff Analysis (2021 vs 2020)

Looking at the GATE cutoffs for 2021 and 2020, we can observe that the cutoffs for the majority of the papers have fallen from the prior year. For example, the GATE cutoff for CSE was 28.5 in 2020 and dropped to 26.1 in 2021.

GATE Cutoff Analysis (2020 vs 2019)

The analysis below compares the changes in the qualifying GATE Cutoff 2020 vs 2019. While the official GATE result figures show that just 18.8% of students passed the test. There have been several surprises in the GATE cutoffs, with many indicating a significant decrease and others showing an increase. Only Mathematics has exhibited no change in the GATE cutoff marks. Candidates can go through the table below to know more about the GATE cutoff analysis for 2020 and 2019.

Opportunities After GATE 2025 Result

The opportunities that present themselves before the candidates after the declaration of the GATE result are listed below -

M.Tech admission in reputed institutions - When the GATE Exam 2025 results are declared and the candidates are selected in the merit lists, they can apply for M.Tech admissions 2025 at any of the seven IITs or private colleges throughout India. It's the most prevalent entry point, and every engineer desires to take advantage of it. With a strong GATE score, the candidates will be eligible for M. Tech studies, stipends, and other academic perks and privileges at the Top M.Tech colleges in India. The candidates can get several nice career prospects after finishing M. Tech. GATE can be a critical step toward engineering students securing a prosperous career
Apply for jobs in the PSUs - GATE scores are used by more than 200 public sector organisations (PSUs) to select engineering students, including BHEL, IOCL, NPCIL, ONGC, and NTPC. PSU positions for GATE-certified students provide an exceptional wage package, a good work-life balance, and other advantages like reimbursements, discounted rates, quarters to stay, help for their children's further education, PFs, pensions, and more. The bulk of students want to be accepted for various PSUs, and even if they are picked for M. Tech, they continue to study for the GATE examination scheduled next year. The PSU recruiting process includes a legitimate GATE score, a group discussion, and a personal interview (PI). The weightage accorded to the GATE score ranges between 75% and 85%
Admission into PhD - M. Tech degree is no longer required to be considered for Ph. D programmes. If the candidates have a B. Tech degree and a decent GATE score, they can apply for Ph. D programmes immediately. Research possibilities abroad, stipends throughout Ph. D courses and career prospects as an associate professor at IITs and IIITs are among the many advantages of pursuing a Ph.D. degree
MS Admission through GATE - If the candidates want to study abroad, they shouldn't be concerned about GRE and TOEFL scores. Some overseas colleges consider GATE scores for admission of Indian students. GATE score should not be more than 3 years old on the date the candidates apply to take admission to colleges abroad and the GATE percentage should be 90% or above
Job Opportunities in the State Electricity Boards - Various State Electricity Boards now accept GATE scores for recruitment purposes these days. Earlier, they used to follow an entrance-based selection process. Interested candidates can apply easily for the vacant positions through their GATE registration numbers
