If below 500 rank is your target, then your gate score target should be 70. However, it entirely depends upon the branch you are studying. But I can say 70 marks is the minimum score. For some branches like biotechnology, it can be around 65. At the same time, the qualifying mark itself of metallurgy is around 47.

So check the past qualifying marks of your branch and marks you need to score to get rank below 500.

Prepare accordingly. All the best.
