The GATE 2026 cutoff varies every year. The organising institute (IIT Guwahati) determines cutoff based on certain factors - number of registered candidates, question paper difficulty, normalisation process, seat intake, etc.

If the GATE question paper is tough, then the cutoff is likely to be low.
