GATE results 2024 are valid three years after they were announced. For three years, any institute would accept the GATE score as proof of eligibility for admission to postgraduate study or employment. Candidates will have the following details on their GATE result 2024:
- Candidate’s Name
- Candidate’s Photograph
- Candidate’s Signature
- GATE Registration Number
- Gender of the Candidate
- Examination Paper & Paper Code
- GATE Marks (Out of 100)
- GATE Scores (Out of 1000)
- Validity of GATE scores
GATE Marks Vs GATE Scores
It is important to note that GATE Marks & GATE scores are different. GATE Marks are the marks obtained by candidates out of 100 in the exam. The GATE scores are normalised scores of candidates out of 1000.
GATE Score Normalisation
The following formula is used to calculate the normalised GATE Score:
GATE Cutoff 2024
The GATE cutoff is of two types: Qualifying Cutoff & Admission Cutoff. The GATE Qualifying cutoff is the minimum marks that candidates need to qualify the examination. The GATE admission cutoff is released separately by participating colleges for final admission to the college. It is important to note that just meeting the qualifying cutoff score does not guarantee admission.
