GATE 2025: Syllabus | Sample Papers
GATE OBC cut-off for CS paper has shown an up-and-down trend over the last few years. The minimum GATE scores for the OBC students were 24.8 in case of computer science. As per the expected GATE cut-off 2025, the qualifying marks will remain the same this year too.
On the other hand, the GATE cut-off marks have increased for papers including statistics, physics, civil engineering over years.
GATE 2025 cut-off will be determined on the basis of difficulty-level of exam, number of candidates, and previous years’ trends. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee held GATE exam 2025 on February 1, 2, 15, and 16 for admission to MTech programmes.
