What is the cutoff of GATE MT FOR PSUs and IITs for sc category?

The cutoff for GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) varies each year based on the exam difficulty , number of candidates , and number of vacancies in PSUs (Public Sector Undertakings) and IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) . For the SC category , the cutoffs tend to be lower than the General category due to reservation policies.

Here is a general overview of the GATE cutoff trends for MT (Mining Engineering) in PSUs and IITs :

1. PSUs (Public Sector Undertakings):

• PSUs like Coal India, NTPC, BHEL , etc., have their own GATE cutoff scores, which vary depending on the company and the year.
• SC category cutoff for PSUs is typically around 20-30% lower than the General category cutoff .

2. IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology):

• IITs use GATE scores for admission to their M.Tech programs, and the cutoff is different for each institute.
• The SC category cutoff for M.Tech in Mining Engineering (MT) is usually between 25-40 marks (out of 100), depending on the IIT and the specific program.

Examples of Previous Year Trends:

• For IITs like IIT Kharagpur , IIT Bombay , and IIT Delhi , the cutoff for M.Tech in Mining Engineering for SC category students ranged from 25 to 35 marks in recent years.
• For PSUs , the cutoff can range anywhere from 35 to 45 marks in the SC category, but it varies by company and the number of vacancies available.

Key Points:

• Check Official Websites : Always verify with the official websites of the PSUs or IITs you are targeting for updated and accurate cutoff details.
• Reservation Benefits : SC candidates enjoy relaxation in GATE cutoff scores due to the reservation system, making it easier for them to qualify compared to the General category.

Since cutoffs change each year, tracking past trends and understanding the specific requirements of your targeted PSUs and IITs is crucial for planning your GATE preparation.
