Key Factors Influencing the GATE Cut Off 2025
The GATE cutoff is influenced by several key factors:
- Number of Candidates: More candidates typically lead to a higher cutoff due to increased competition.
- Exam Difficulty: A tougher exam usually results in a lower cutoff, while an easier exam may raise the cutoff.
- Availability of Seats: More seats generally lower the cutoff, while fewer seats can increase it.
- Category: Reserved categories (SC/ST/PwD/OBC) have lower cutoffs compared to the General category.
- Previous Year Trends: The cutoff tends to follow trends from previous years, increasing or decreasing gradually.
- Institute-Specific Cutoffs: Each institute sets its own cutoff based on popularity and demand for specific courses.
- Reservation Policies: Changes in government reservation policies affect the category-wise cutoffs.
- Normalization: If the exam is conducted in multiple sessions, normalization adjusts the scores, influencing the cutoff.
- Number of Papers: More specializations or papers can lead to varying cutoffs across branches.
- Admission Trends: High demand for certain branches, like Computer Science, often results in a higher cutoff.
