The GATE 2024 and 2025 cutoff marks represent the minimum qualifying marks that candidates needed to score to qualify for the GATE examinations. GATE 2024 was organized by IISc Bangalore and GATE 2025 was organized by IIT Roorkee. The cutoff marks varied across different branches and categories (General, OBC/EWS, SC/ST/PwD).
Qualifying the GATE exam is essential for candidates to receive their GATE scorecard, which is required for admission to M.Tech/Ph.D. programs and for applying to various Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) that accept GATE scores.
Important: The cutoff marks shown below are the official qualifying marks released by the GATE organizing institutes. These marks determine whether a candidate qualifies for the GATE examination and receives a scorecard.

- Paper Difficulty: The difficulty level of the GATE question paper
- Number of Candidates: Total number of candidates who appeared for each paper
- Performance Distribution: Overall performance of candidates across all categories
- Reservation Policy: Government reservation policies for different categories
