GATE exam 2025 is being conducted for admission to MTech programmes in IITs and other participating institutions for the academic year 2025-26.

GATE 2025 data science and artificial intelligence paper will be conducted in the forenoon session from 9:30 am to 12:30 am along with four other papers. Students need to score GATE 2025 marks in the range of 24-38 in order to qualify the paper, as per last year’s trends.

GATE qualifying cut-off 2025 is different from GATE 2025 cut-off for admissions. While the qualifying cut-offs are the minimum marks required for passing the exam, the admission cut-offs are the closing marks required for securing a seat in an MTech programme, varying from institute to institute.

The DA paper was introduced for the first time in the GATE exam last year. Number of candidates, difficulty-level of exam, availability of seats, and overall performance of candidates will determine the GATE 2025 DA cut-off among other factors.
