GATE 2020 Cutoff Marks

The GATE 2020 cutoff marks represent the minimum qualifying marks that candidates needed to score to qualify for the GATE 2020 examination. GATE 2020 was organized by IIT Delhi and the cutoff marks varied across different branches and categories (General, OBC/EWS, SC/ST/PwD).

GATE 2020 cutoff was more than GATE 2019 cutoff in subjects like Civil Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering, Physics, and Production & Industrial Engineering. However, there was a decrease in qualifying marks for Computer Science and Electrical Engineering compared to 2019.

Important: The cutoff marks shown below are the official qualifying marks released by the GATE organizing institute. These marks determine whether a candidate qualifies for the GATE 2020 examination and receives a scorecard.

Understanding GATE 2020 Cutoff

The GATE 2020 cutoff marks were determined based on several factors:

Paper Difficulty: The difficulty level of the GATE 2020 question paper
Number of Candidates: Total number of candidates who appeared for each paper
Performance Distribution: Overall performance of candidates across all categories
Reservation Policy: Government reservation policies for different categories
