I had obtained 25 marks in gate Xh c2 can I get admission in IITs in sc category this year ?

Based on the GATE 2024 cut-off scores, the qualifying mark for the SC category in the Humanities and Social Sciences (English) paper (XH-C2) was 32. Given that you scored 25 marks, which is below the previous year's SC category cut-off, securing admission to IITs this year may be challenging. However, cut-off marks can vary annually based on factors like exam difficulty and the number of applicants. It's advisable to consult the official GATE 2025 results and individual IIT admission criteria for the most accurate and current information.

Hello

The eligibility for IIT admission depends on the GATE qualifying cutoff , which varies yearly. Generally, the SC category has a lower cutoff than the general category.

To check your chances :

1. Compare your marks with the SC cutoff for GATE XH C2 (English) from this year's official results.

2. Check previous years cutoffs to estimate trends.

3. Verify IIT admission criteria as each IIT has its own cutoff for M.A./M.Sc./Ph.D. programs.

Hope this gives you the clarity you need .
