Getting admission into master programme in IITs
is a dream for many students. To turn this dream into reality,
students prepare hard to get high scores in GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in
Engineering) Examination. The admission is competitive as
there are limited seats for different engineering courses.
GATE Score
The GATE cutoff for IIT
Kanpur is around 700 for Computer Science for direct admissions.
For other branches like EC, IT the cutoff is around 750. The cutoff
is lower for a call to the interview and written test. GATE cutoff is around 600 for getting interview call
from IITs. To get good score, it is important that you analyze your
performance in mock tests.
The GATE cutoff for Electronics and
Communication, Mechanical Engineering is higher than for other
engineering branches like Computer Science, Electrical Engineering
at IITs (Indian Institute of Technology). The cutoff for Civil
Engineering is lower compared to Computer science, Electrical
Engineering.
The GATE score is valid for two years
from the date of announcement of GATE
results. The GATE score is made available
to all the candidates irrespective of whether they qualified or
not. Students can get GATE results from
the GATE website or from GATE offices of IISc/IITs.
It is not necessary that if you have lower GATE score, then you will not be called for interview
and written test. The candidates with outstanding achievements like
publications, industry experience may be called for the interview
despite lower score. Even candidates with lower GATE score may get admission if they have good
profile. The GATE cutoff is calculated
every year on the basis of number of applications received. Hence
the GATE cutoff 2012 may vary from
GATE 2011 cutoff. For direct admissions,
the cutoff is higher. However, those with slightly lower score may
get call from IITs for written test or interviews.
