GATE CH Cut-off 2027 and Past Qualifying Marks

The GATE CH cut-off is the minimum qualifying mark set for the paper and category in a given year. IIT Guwahati’s 2026 General threshold for CH was 25 marks out of 100. The 2027 figures will be known when the organiser publishes them.

Start with the official qualifying marks below. For admission or recruitment, compare the selection criteria and historical thresholds for the particular programme or post you want.

Official qualifying marks for CH

The IIT Roorkee 2025 qualifying table gives the first row. The values are qualifying marks out of 100.

The IIT Guwahati 2026 qualifying table gives the second row and reports attendance separately.

The General qualifying mark fell from 27.7 in 2025 to 25 in 2026. The number of candidates who appeared also fell, from 14,843 to 14,077. Those two facts establish a change between cycles. The published figures alone cannot isolate what drove it.

Marks, score and admission thresholds

If you want a postgraduate programme in process design, energy or another related area, compare the accepted GATE paper and qualifying degree for each programme you shortlist. For a company opening, check that recruitment notice separately for the required paper, score year and discipline.

If a portal reports a closing GATE score or rank, preserve its unit when taking notes. A qualifying mark out of 100 and a reported GATE score measure different things. Check whether a historical threshold applied at application screening, at interview shortlist or at the final admission round.

Set a practice target that survives a hard paper

Use the same marking rules on each timed attempt. After three comparable papers, record your lowest result and your typical result alongside the recent qualifying marks for your category. Watch which missed questions come from recurring errors and which come from topics you have not studied yet.

Redo a process balance and a phase-equilibrium question from a released CH paper. Use a blank sheet to record how you chose the basis, found the unknowns and decided where equilibrium applied. If the balance works only when you copy the diagram from a solution, start the next week with flowsheets.

A higher practice target may be appropriate when you are aiming for a competitive programme. Use its official admission data if available and allow room for variation between papers.

Review the GATE CH exam pattern before you allocate time or score a practice paper.

Use the GATE CH mock test guide to check format, score an attempt and plan the next one.
