GATE 2026 Score Calculation Formula

The GATE score is calculated using a normalization formula for multi-session papers:

 

For single-session papers:

GATEScore=1000×(MarksObtainedQualifyingMarks)/(MeanMarksofTopCandidatesQualifyingMarks)GATE Score = 1000 × (Marks Obtained – Qualifying Marks) / (Mean Marks of Top Candidates – Qualifying Marks)

GATEScore=1000×(MarksObtained–QualifyingMarks)/(MeanMarksofTopCandidates–QualifyingMarks)

 

For multi-session papers:

  • Raw marks are normalized
  • Session difficulty is considered
  • Final score is calculated out of 1000

10:36 AM IST • 19 Feb, 2026

GATE 2026 Expected Cutoff Marks

The official cutoff will be released along with the results. However, based on previous trends, the qualifying cutoff for core branches like:

  • Mechanical Engineering (ME)

  • Computer Science (CS)

  • Electrical Engineering (EE)

usually remains competitive due to high participation. The cutoff varies category-wise (General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS) and paper-wise
