GATE 2024 Marks vs Rank: Understand Your Score for Top Rankings
Introduction
According to the official authorities, in the GATE 2024 exams, understanding how the marks are translated to rank is very important for getting admission and career prospects. GATE ranks depend upon various factors like the difficulty level of the paper, the number of test-takers, and the normalization process which is applied to different session papers. It can be understood by following Here’s a breakdown:
Top Scores: Candidates who score around 80-90 marks out of 100 in GATE exams typically place themselves in the top 50 ranks in streams like Computer Science or Mechanical Engineering but this is changing every year. Such ranks open doors for students to get admission to prestigious institutions like IITs and NITs and high-paying PSU jobs.
Middle Ranks: Candidates who score between 60-75 often result in ranks within the top 1000 and will also provide you admission to reputable colleges or PSUs but with more competition.
Lower Scores: Candidates who get marks between 40-60 and expected ranks below the top 2000 will not get admission to top IITs or PSUs but several good colleges, private institutions, and some government positions are still in reach.
GATE 2024 scores are calculated with a specific normalization process by ensuring fairness across sessions but it should be remembered that the rank distribution will keep on changing annually. Studying past trends in marks vs. ranks for the stream will give a rough idea but expect fluctuations.
