Can a student get admission in IIT after qualifying GATE if his/her CPI is below the eligibility CPI?

<p data-sourcepos="1:1-1:196">A student generally cannot get admission into IITs for M.Tech. or Ph.D. programs through GATE if their CPI falls below the minimum eligibility criteria set by the specific department/program.</p><ul data-sourcepos="5:1-8:0"><li data-sourcepos="5:1-6:0"><p data-sourcepos="5:3-5:354"><strong>GATE Qualification is Just One Step:</strong> While qualifying GATE is a crucial step for admission into M.Tech. and Ph.D. programs at IITs, it's not the sole criterion. IITs have minimum eligibility requirements in terms of CPI (Cumulative Performance Index) for each program.
