The cutoff score is the minimum GATE score required to qualify in a specific paper. The cutoff varies every year based on factors such as the number of candidates, difficulty level of the exam, and category of the candidate (General, OBC-NCL, SC/ST/PwD). Institutes and PSUs also set their own cutoffs for admission or recruitment purposes, which may differ from the official qualifying marks.
