GATE Result 2025 – The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering, GATE is a national-level entrance exam conducted by the Indian Institute of Science and seven IITs on behalf of the National Coordination Board (NCB – GATE). The GATE exam is conducted for admission to post-graduate programs like M.Tech, M.E, MS, and direct ph.D in IITs, NITs, and other institutions across India. GATE Result 2025 will be announced on March 19. The result can be checked at goaps.iitr.ac.in.
For certain papers GATE exam is conducted in multiple sessions due to a large number of candidates appearing for it. Since different set of question papers is given in each session, the difficulty level may vary accordingly. To address this issue, a normalization process is applied to ensure that the scores of the candidates are consistent across all sections.
GATE normalization marks take into account the raw marks scored by the candidates. The ‘Raw Marks’ are the marks scored by the candidate in the specific exam session, calculated out of 100. The GATE score is calculated out of 1000 using a specific formula. The GATE normalization process is more relevant for papers with multiple sessions like Computer Science Engineering and Civil Engineering. Candidates who take paper in a single session receive the GATE score, while those who take in multiple sessions receive the normalized score.
GATE 2025 – GATE Marks vs Score?
GATE normalization marks refer to the raw marks scored by the candidates. The ‘Raw Marks’ are the marks scored by the candidate in the specific exam session, calculated out of 100. The GATE score is calculated out of 1000 using a specific formula. Hence to conduct a fair examination and evaluate a cutoff score, GATE 2025 normalization will be done.
GATE Result 2025 – How GATE normalized scores are Calculated?
The normalization formula used in GATE is based on statistical methods, ensuring that no candidate is disadvantaged due to variations in question paper difficulty. The formula used for calculating the normalized marks (ᵅₜₚ) is as follows:
