GATE 2026 Cutoff is the qualifying mark required by candidates for PG admission in IITs, NITs, & GFITs and PSU Recruitments through GATE 2026. IIT Guwahati will release the cutoff after the GATE 2026 Result announcement in March 2026. The cutoff of GATE 2026 will vary for each subject and category based on exam difficulty level, number of candidates, and seat availability. The GATE expected cutoff 2026 for General category will be 27-29, whereas for OBC & SC/ST category, it will be 24-25 & 18-20, respectively.
There are two types of cutoffs in GATE 2026, namely, qualifying cutoff and admission cutoff. The qualifying cutoff is the minimum score needed to pass the exam, while the admission cutoff is decided by institutes during the counselling and admission process. Additionally, PSUs also release their individual cutoffs for recruitment purposes. Read further to know more about the GATE 2026 Cutoff.
Factors Affecting GATE 2026 Cutoff
Several important factors will influence the GATE 2026 cutoff. These include the number of candidates appearing for the exam, the total number of available seats, and the difficulty level of the question paper. 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 which influences the making of 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.

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 which influences the making of 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.
