GATE IN Cut-off 2027 and Past Qualifying Marks

The GATE IN cut-off is the minimum qualifying mark set for the paper and category in a given year. IIT Guwahati’s 2026 General threshold for IN was 39.8 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 IN

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 moved from 25.6 in 2025 to 39.8 in 2026. Attendance moved from 11,935 to 12,424. The large change in published marks is a reason to track a range of practice results across papers instead of picking one year's result as your target.

Marks, score and admission thresholds

If you are considering a programme in instrumentation, control, biomedical engineering or embedded systems, check whether that department accepts IN and whether it accepts your degree discipline. If you plan to use the score for recruitment, the employer's notice determines the accepted paper and intake.

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.

Choose a bridge balance, a circuit transient and a feedback stability question from released IN papers. Record the first equation you write for each. A bridge or circuit answer that depends on reading a solution is a cue to refresh reference nodes and signs before tackling longer mixed systems.

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 IN exam pattern before you allocate time or score a practice paper.
