  • This year, around 10 Lakh candidates applied for GATE 2026, which is significantly higher than the previous year. The higher test-takers mean a higher GATE cut-off, while lower GATE test-takers will lead to a lower GATE cut-off

  • The number of aspirants who cleared the GATE exam is directly proportional to the cut-off.

  • The number of seats available also affects the GATE cut-off. If an institute has limited seats, the cut-off can be higher.
