Cut-off is the minimum mark that any candidate needs to obtain in order to successfully qualify any exam. Depending on many factors, the exam organizing committee decides the cut-off marks of a specific exam of a specific year. Cut Off marks actually help the candidates, who are waiting for the result of any competitive exam, to estimate the exam score before the results are announced.  

Gate cut-offs are different for different subjects and it also changes dynamically every year. All the GATE aspirants, who want to know about the GATE exam cut-off marks of previous years i.e. 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, they are at the right place.
