GATE 2019 Cutoff Marks

The GATE 2019 cutoff marks represent the minimum qualifying marks that candidates needed to score to qualify for the GATE 2019 examination. GATE 2019 was organized by IIT Madras and the cutoff marks varied across different branches and categories (General, OBC/EWS, SC/ST/PwD).

GATE 2019 cutoff was more than GATE 2018 cutoff in subjects like Electronics & Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science. GATE 2018 cutoff for Computer Science was 25 whereas GATE 2019 cutoff for Computer Science was 29.5, showing a significant increase.

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 2019 examination and receives a scorecard.
