Some branches like Computer Science or Electronics attract more candidates, which usually raises the cutoff for those papers. The category of the candidate also plays a key role, as reserved categories generally have lower cutoffs than the general category. Additionally, each institute releases its own admission cutoff depending on seat intake and applicant performance. Check the factors given below that influence the making of the GATE 2026 Cutoff.
- Number of Candidates Appearing: Higher participation increases competition, raising the cutoff.
- Seat Availability: Fewer seats can lead to a higher admission cutoff in top institutes.
- Difficulty Level of Exam: Tougher papers may lead to lower cutoffs and vice versa.
- Category of Candidate: Cutoff scores vary for General, OBC, SC, ST, and PwD categories.
- Branch-wise Popularity: Highly demanded branches often have higher cutoffs.
