Government Jobs (PSUs): India's leading public sector undertakings (PSUs)—such as ONGC, IOCL, GAIL, and BHEL—recruit engineers directly based on their GATE scores. Fellowship: Students interested in research also have access to opportunities for a Junior Research Fellowship (JRF).

Scorecard Validity and Cut-off

Along with the results, IIT Guwahati is also set to release separate 'cut-off' marks for each subject (paper) today. Only those students whose scores exceed the cut-off threshold—based on their respective categories—will be considered qualified. Please note that the GATE scorecard remains valid for a period of three years from the date of the result, which students may utilize at their convenience.

This year, the difficulty level of the paper ranged from moderate to difficult; consequently, a slight variation in the cut-off marks may be observed compared to the previous year. Due to heavy web traffic, the website may experience slowdowns; therefore, students are advised to exercise patience and check the portal periodically.
