GATE 2026 Cutoff will differ category-wise and subject-wise.

The GATE cutoff is divided into qualifying cut off and admission cut off. The qualifying cutoff just indicates the minimum marks required by candidates out of 100 to pass the exam. On the other hand, the GATE admission cutoff indicates the minimum marks required by candidates for admission to IITs, NITs & GFTIs. Scoring qualifying marks in the GATE 2026 exam does not necessarily mean that the candidate will be granted admission.
