What's the GATE cut off for the MS by research program in the mechanical branch at IIT Madras?

Question

Himani Thakur · Accepted Answer

IIT Madras doesn't have a fixed GATE cut-off for its MS by Research program in Mechanical Engineering. Instead, they use a three-stage selection process:

Initial GATE Screening: Aim for a GATE score of 600+ and at least 65% in your undergrad. This gets you in the door for the next round. The actual required GATE score can fluctuate based on applicant numbers and the exam's difficulty.
Written Exam: If you clear the initial screening, you'll take a written test covering the GATE syllabus.
Interview: Pass the written exam, and you'll face an interview panel with professors.

The final merit list considers these factors:

Undergrad Percentage: 20%
GATE Score: 40%
Interview: 40%

So, there's no single GATE score that guarantees admission!

Its a Question about your future!
