A safe score in GATE is considered to be a score that is desirable for admissions to IITs, NITs, and top PSUs like ONGC, IOCL, Power Grid, etc. A GATE safe score can be around 80 or above, depending on the branch applied for. With a GATE score of 90+, there are high chances of getting admission in IITs and NITs for the most demanding branches like CS, ME, CE, EC, etc., or qualifying in PSU recruitment.
