hello,

yes, if a university considers only PCM marks for admission and does not require GATE scores, then your  GATE score will not affect your chances of gettig admission. many universities, especially private institutions offer admission based solely on board exam PCM marks. while some may conduct their own entrances tests like VITEEE, SRMJEEE, or BITSAT. it is important to check the cutoff criteria for each university and ensure that your PCM percentage meets the required eligibility.
