Factors Determining GATE Cut-off
As discussed above, this year IISc Bangalore will issue the GATE cut-offs after the announcement of GATE 2025 results. There are several factors that determine the GATE cut-off, some of the key factors are given below
- Difficulty level of the exam: This is the main factor that affects the cut-off. The tougher the GATE question paper is, the lower the cut-off will be, and vice versa.
- Number of aspirants who appeared for the exam: This year more than 8 Lakh candidates applied for GATE 2025 which is significantly higher than the previous year. The higher test-takers mean a higher GATE cut-off, while lower GATE test-takers will lead to a lower GATE cut-off
- Number of aspirants who cleared the exam: The number of aspirants who cleared the GATE exam is directly proportional to the cut-off.
- Number of seats available: The number of seats available also affects the GATE cut-off. If an institute has limited seats, the cut-off can be higher.
