According to recent data, the GATE Metallurgical Engineering (MT) cutoff for PSUs and IITs in the SC category is around 27.3 marks which is considered the qualifying mark for the SC/ST/PWD category; this means that a candidate from the SC category needs to score at least 27.3 marks to be considered for admission to IITs or PSU recruitment through GATE MT.

Then what has happened today at exam centre?

This same happened with me also but my exam is on 2 Feb.

Hello there,

Hello there,

No, if you registered for GATE 2025 under the General category , you cannot switch to the GEN-EWS category after the registration deadline. Your category at the time of registration will be considered final for result processing and admissions.

What You Can Do:

• Contact GATE Authorities : If the application correction window is still open, you can update your category to GEN-EWS and upload the valid certificate.
  
  
• Post-Result Scenario : Even if you produce an EWS certificate later, it will not change your category for GATE results or admissions.

It’s crucial to choose the correct category during registration and make changes within the correction period, if applicable.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

If you have filled out the GATE 2025 form under the EWS category and qualify for the exam, but your score doesn't meet the General category cutoff, you generally do not need to submit the EWS certificate to get the stipend, as long as you meet the eligibility criteria for the stipend based on your qualification.

Your eligibility for the stipend may still depend on your qualification and performance in the exam. In some cases, if you're qualifying in the exam, you may still be eligible for the stipend, even if you don't meet the General category cutoff.

For reservation benefits (such as admission through GATE in the EWS category), you will need to submit your EWS certificate. However, if you're not seeking admission through GATE (since you're already pursuing a dual degree) and your primary concern is the stipend, you may not need to submit the EWS certificate, unless specified

Hello Anushka,

The eligibility criteria for M.Tech in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) at UIT RGPV Bhopal are as follows:

1. Educational Qualifications :

• Bachelor’s degree (B.Tech/B.E.) in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) or any relevant branch of engineering with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks (45% for SC/ST/OBC candidates).
  
  
• Candidates should have completed the undergraduate program from a recognized university .
  
  2. Admission Process :

Admission to M.Tech CSE at UIT RGPV Bhopal is primarily through two channels:

• GATE Score :

  • Candidates must have a valid GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) score. GATE is the most preferred method for admission.
    
    
  • The valid GATE score will depend on the year’s cutoff and the branch-specific requirements.
    
    

• CUET PG Score :

  • CUET PG (Central Universities Entrance Test for Postgraduate courses) is another way to apply if the university considers it for the course.
    
    
  • Admission based on CUET PG score may depend on the university’s preferences and specific program requirements. Check the university’s official website or brochure for updates.
    
    3. Cutoff Marks :
    
    
• GATE Cutoff :
  
  
  • The cutoff marks vary every year based on factors like the number of applicants, difficulty level of the exam, and available seats.
    
    
  • Generally, for a general category , the cutoff for CSE is around 600-700 marks , but it may fluctuate depending on the year and competition.
    
    
• CUET PG Cutoff :
  
  
  • If CUET PG is used for admission, the cutoff score for CSE will be released by the university based on the exam’s difficulty and the number of applicants.
    
    4. Other Requirements :
    
    
• Some additional documents or an interview may be required depending on the university's rules.

Note : It is always advisable to visit the official UIT RGPV Bhopal website for the latest and most accurate details regarding eligibility, admission, and cutoff requirements.

You can access free e-books for GATE preparation on platforms like the National Digital Library of India (NDLI), OpenStax, or websites offering free educational resources like Examrace or Gateforum. Check NPTEL for study material and video lectures.

For the Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) discipline, DRDO requires candidates to have at least a First Class Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or Technology specifically in Computer Science & Engineering or equivalent fields.

Your Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) degree is in Civil Engineering, it does not align with the required educational qualifications for the Computer Science & Engineering discipline as stipulated by DRDO. Therefore, even with a valid GATE score in Computer Science, you would not meet the eligibility criteria for DRDO's Scientist 'B' positions in the CSE discipline.

Your B.Tech. in Civil Engineering makes you eligible for DRDO positions in the Civil Engineering discipline, provided you have a valid GATE score in Civil Engineering.

Unfortunately, since you fall short of a very small percentage, you won't be able to qualify this time. You can consider getting admitted without a scholarship or retake the examination once again and improve your score and then do the MTech program along with a scholarship.

All the best
