Does percentage of btech matter in gate exam?

In the GATE exam, the percentage of marks in B.Tech does not directly affect your eligibility or performance, as GATE primarily assesses your knowledge through the exam itself. However, your B.Tech percentage can be relevant in some contexts: 1. Eligibility for Admission: Many IITs/NITs and other institutes may have minimum B.Tech percentage requirements for admission to M.Tech programs, typically ranging from 50-60% for general candidates. However, the GATE score is the most critical factor for selection. 2. PSU Recruitment: Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) that recruit through GATE may set minimum academic qualifications or B.Tech percentage cutoffs as part of their eligibility criteria. In summary, while your B.Tech percentage can affect admission in some institutions or PSUs, it is your GATE score that determines your qualification for further studies or job opportunities. read less
