Your GATE 2025 Biomedical Engineering score of 24.33 falls below the expected qualifying marks for the General category, which is 25.  Qualifying marks are the minimum required to be considered for admission to postgraduate programs in institutions like the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Therefore, with a score below this threshold, admission to IITs is unlikely.

Hey Ananya,

Thanks for reaching out about your GATE Biomedical score! So, you scored 24.33 out of 100 on the GATE 2025 Biomedical Engineering paper and are wondering if you've got a shot at getting into an IIT. Let's break it down. Whether or not you'll get in really hinges on the cutoff marks for your category . Looking at the expected cutoffs for GATE 2025 in Biomedical Engineering, here's what's anticipated: General Category : around 24 marks , OBC-NCL/EWS : roughly 23.5 marks , and SC/ST/PwD : about 17.6 marks . Since you've got 24.33, you've cleared the expected qualifying cutoff for the General category, which is great news! However, and this is a big however, just qualifying for GATE doesn't automatically mean you're in at an IIT. You see, each IIT has its own set of admission rules. They often have much higher cutoff scores than the qualifying GATE score, and they might also include interviews or other assessments as part of their selection process. Think of the GATE qualifying cutoff as the bare minimum to be considered. IITs, being super competitive , usually set their own bar much higher. These cutoffs change every year depending on how many people apply, how many seats are available, and how well everyone performs on the exam. So, while you've definitely cleared the first hurdle, I'd recommend digging into the specific admission requirements for each of the IITs you're interested in. See what their cutoff scores have been in the past and what other factors they consider.

To boost your chances, it's always a good idea to apply to multiple institutions . Good luck with your applications, Ananya!
