Traditional M.Tech courses like Physics, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering and ECE are on high demand this, and the GATE 2020 cutoff for the same is high.

GATE 2020 Traditional M.Tech Cutoffs

GATE 2020 Trends - This year, GATE 2020 cutoffs for various papers might have surprised everyone. While the cutoffs for most of the specialized papers witnessed a dip, the same for traditional engineering branches increased this. This clearly indicates that the demand for traditional engineering courses at M.Tech level in India is high. Even though the total number of registrations for the GATE exam declined this year, the number of registrations for traditional engineering courses witnessed a rise.

Traditional M.Tech Branches with Higher GATE Cutoff 2020

Here is the list of traditional M.Tech branches for which the GATE 2020 cutoffs are higher -

GATE Physics Cutoff 2020

GATE Civil Engineering Cutoff 2020

GATE Chemical Engineering Cutoff 2020

GATE Electronics and Communication Engineering Cutoff 2020

Specialized M.Tech Branches with Lower GATE Cutoff 2020

Here is the list of specialized M.Tech branches with a lower cutoff in GATE 2020 -

GATE Aerospace Engineering Cutoff 2020

GATE Bio-Technology Cutoff 2020

GATE Metallurgical Engineering Cutoff 2020

GATE Agriculture Cutoff 2020

The qualifying marks for GATE Aerospace Engineering was 33.5 in 2018, while the same dipped to 27.2 this year. Similarly, the cutoff of Agriculture Engineering also dipped this year. The higher cutoff for a paper indicates that either the paper was easy or the number of candidates appeared for the same are high. While the lower cutoff indicates that either the paper was tough or the number of candidates appeared for the same are less.

Subject Wise Number of Applicants in GATE 2020

Here is the subject-wise data on the total number of applicants appeared in GATE 2020 (paper wise) -

Name of the Subject/ Paper

Total No. Of Candidates Appeared

Electrical Engineering

93,526

Electronics and Communication Engineering

83,418

Computer Science and Information Technology

97,481

Chemical Engineering

63,001

Metallurgical Engineering

3,230

Agricultural Engineering

1,925

Aerospace Engineering

3,811

From the data above, it is evident that the total number of candidates aspiring for traditional M.Tech branches is higher than non-traditional branches. On the other hand, Geophysics and Geology qualifying marks have been declared separately this year.
