Congratulations on scoring 54.1 marks in GATE 2025 Civil Engineering! The qualifying cutoff for OBC candidates is usually around 25.4, so you've cleared the minimum requirement. However, for M.Tech in Structural Engineering at IITs, cutoffs are generally much higher. Admission to top IITs may be difficult with this score, but you can explore newer IITs, NITs, and reputed state universities in Andhra Pradesh. Keep an eye on cutoffs and consider institutes where your score aligns with admission trends.

Hello there,

With 54.1 marks in GATE 2025 (Civil Engineering) , your chances of getting M.Tech in Structural Engineering at IITs depend on cutoffs and seat availability.

  • OBC-NCL Cutoff (2024) : ~29.6 marks (qualifying only)
  • IIT Admission Cutoffs : Vary yearly; top IITs usually require a rank below 200.

Your score is decent , but getting into top IITs might be tough. Check official IIT admission cutoffs when released. Consider applying to NITs or other top institutes for better chances.


I would recommend you to use GATE College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your marks.
