    You should go for JEE Advanced examination to get admission in an IIT or take GATE examination after you complete your graduation.

    JEE Advance is the exam you need to qualify with good rank for admission into IITs.

    Hi Arpith, For admission in NIT/IIT, you must appear for JEE Mains then JEE Advanced. Unless you appear for the entrance exam you won't get admission in National Institute of Technology/IIT. Apart from IIT and NIT, most colleges in India offer lateral entry for Diploma students. These colleges do reserve some seats for lateral entry students. Regards.

The factors that determine the GATE cutoff are -

  • Availability of seats (the total seat intake varies every year for NITs, IIITs, and IIT admission)
  • Number of registered applicants
  • The difficulty level of the examination - (GATE is conducted on multiple days, however, the paper difficulty varies for every session)
  • Previous year cutoff trends

Based on the previous year's trends, the GATE 2026 expected cutoff for computer Science and engineering can be checked below- 

  • For General category it might go around 30 to 31.0

However, the GATE cutoff varies every year, depending on the difficulty level, number of applicants appearing for the exam, etc.

No, a duplicate GATE 2026 admit card will not be provided at the test center. Candidates must carry their own admit card along with the mentioned documents and items to the GATE exam center. IIT Guwahati will release the GATE admit card on January 2.

Candidates will get only one scribble pad at a time. They must write their name and registration number before using it. If the rough sheet gets filled, then they can ask for another one scribble pad after returning the previous one to the invigilator. After the exam concludes, candidates must return the scribble pad to the invigilator.
