GATE Qualifying Cutoff Vs. GATE Admission Cutoff

There is a difference between the qualifying cutoff and the admission cutoff in the GATE exam. Qualifying cutoff refers to the cutoff that is set by the conducting authority whereas GATE admission cutoffs are set by institutes for admission of candidates with GATE scores.

The parameters for deciding the qualifying cutoff include the cutoff trends of the previous years, the category of the candidate, and overall difficulty level and the performance level of the candidates in the GATE exam. The parameters for deciding the GATE admission cutoff of an institute depends on the availability of seats and the number of applications that are received for admission.
