With a GATE score of 419 and belonging to the SC category, getting admission to the IT branch at NITK Surathkal in 2025 might be challenging. The expected GATE cutoff for NITK Surathkal is around 600-700 for general category students, and for SC/ST/PwD, it's around 350-400.

However, since you belong to the SC category, your chances might be slightly better. The NITK Surathkal cutoff for SC/ST/PwD is typically lower than the general category cutoff.

To give you a better idea, here are some *GATE Cutoffs for NITK Surathkal*:

- Computer Science and Engineering: 765 (G1), 736 (G1)

- Information Technology: 708 (G1), 690 (G1)

Keep in mind that these cutoffs are subject to change and might not reflect the actual cutoffs for the 2025 admissions.

Considering your score and category, you might want to explore other branches or colleges that have lower cutoffs. I recommend checking the official NITK Surathkal website or contacting their admissions office for more information on the cutoffs and admission process.

Based on the GATE 2024 cut-off scores, the qualifying mark for the SC category in the Humanities and Social Sciences (English) paper (XH-C2) was 32. Given that you scored 25 marks, which is below the previous year's SC category cut-off, securing admission to IITs this year may be challenging. However, cut-off marks can vary annually based on factors like exam difficulty and the number of applicants. It's advisable to consult the official GATE 2025 results and individual IIT admission criteria for the most accurate and current information.

Hi,

Based on the previous year analysis, With your GATE 2025 marks which is 15.33 marks in SC Category, in electronics and communication engineering branch. You don't have any chances to get a seat in any of the engineering colleges for M.Tech course.

Yes, you can apply as EWS during CCMT 2025 if you have a valid EWS certificate, even if you filled your GATE 2025 form as General. The category selection in GATE does not affect CCMT counselling eligibility.

According to current predictions, the GATE XL (Life Sciences) cut-off for 2025 is expected to be around 28-32 marks for the General category, with slightly lower marks for reserved categories like OBC-NCL and SC/ST.

The exact cut-off can vary depending on the difficulty level of the exam in a given year. A tougher exam might lead to a lower cut-off.

Analyzing previous year cut-offs can give you a good idea of the range you can expect.

The number of candidates appearing, available seats in desired programs, and overall performance of candidates all play a role in determining the final cut-off.
