A CGPA of 6.0 is the minimum requirement. But, it's important to note that admission to IISc or IITs is highly competitive, and simply meeting the eligibility criteria does not guarantee admission. You should focus on your academic performance and aim for a high CGPA throughout your undergraduate programme. This will not only make you eligible for admission to IISc and IITs but also increase your chances of securing a good rank in GATE.
