Hello Aspirant,

Graduate Aptitude test in Engineering(GATE) exam is conducted yearly once to provide admissionss into post graduate courses in various prestigious institutes like IITs,NITs,IIITs etc.. and also to be taken into various jobs in Public Sector Undertakings(PSUs).One thing you should keep in mind is that we cannot predict the rank based on your score because the gate score depends on the following factors:

• The difficulty of the paper.
  
• No.of students appeared in the examination.
  

Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) is a Government owned corporation or a company in which Central or State Government have more than 51% share. Basically these Government companies run like private companies and share profits to Government.

All these Public sector companies recruit Engineer Trainee (ET) based on the GATE scores. Initially they would shortlist candidates based on GATE scores and then the process is followed by GD and Interview for assessment of different facets of knowledge.

PSUs are subdivided into the following 3 categories-

• Maharatna
  
• Navratna
  
• Miniratna
  

It depends upon the PSU whether they want to take the additional test after considering GATE scores or not. However, there are some PSUs that recruit engineers solely either on the basis of GATE Scores or GATE PSU cut off or GATE Rank or GATE Cut Off.

cut-off for BEML( Bharat Earth Movers Limited )- 821 (score)

cut-off for BARC(Bhabha Atomic Research centre)-824 (score)

Hello!Pankaj



Right now it is hard to say whether you will get PSUs call letter or not with this marks.As this year paper of GATE for mechanical was easy in comparison to past five years which makes prediction tough from it's previous years trends as this year level of paper changed significantly for ME or EE.This years cuttoff marks for PSUs and IITs may go high.Previous years marks of 70 provide rank 743 which was not enough for PSUs call letter,one need at least 800 score to get PSUs call letter.For sureity wait till IIT Madras release score.



You can ask if you have any other queries.



GOOD LUCK!
