With a GATE score of 419 and belonging to the SC category, getting admission to the IT branch at NITK Surathkal in 2025 might be challenging. The expected GATE cutoff for NITK Surathkal is around 600-700 for general category students, and for SC/ST/PwD, it's around 350-400.

However, since you belong to the SC category, your chances might be slightly better. The NITK Surathkal cutoff for SC/ST/PwD is typically lower than the general category cutoff.

To give you a better idea, here are some *GATE Cutoffs for NITK Surathkal*:

- Computer Science and Engineering: 765 (G1), 736 (G1)

Keep in mind that these cutoffs are subject to change and might not reflect the actual cutoffs for the 2025 admissions.

Considering your score and category, you might want to explore other branches or colleges that have lower cutoffs. I recommend checking the official NITK Surathkal website or contacting their admissions office for more information on the cutoffs and admission process.
