IIT graduates and female candidates eligible under the Golden Girl Scheme will be offered direct admission without GATE scores, provided they meet the academic eligibility criteria.
Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee) offers 57 postgraduate (PG) programmes based on a valid Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE 2026) score, which will be normalised to shortlist candidates for MTech admission 2026.
GATE cut-off marks for IIT Roorkee show MTech Computer Science and Engineering and allied courses continued to record the highest qualifying marks. MTech CSE closed at 71.20896 GATE normalised score – highest among the core engineering courses.
Other engineering branches such as electrical engineering and electronics and communication engineering also recorded the highest cut-offs.
Notably, specialised programmes linked to data analytics, control systems, and communication technologies also closed at relatively higher scores compared to mechanical engineering and civil engineering.
