GATE 2025: The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) minimum score for MTech Electrical Engineering (EE) may finally be increasing, according to trends over the last five years. The GATE 2025 electrical engineering paper was due on February 2, and the exam dates are in the first part of February. GATE 2025 is being administered by the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee).
Over the years, there has been a shifting tendency in the GATE cut-off for Electrical Engineering (EE). For candidates in the General category, the previous year's GATE cut-off was 25.7.
Given the increasing popularity of the field, the GATE 2025 cut-off for Electrical Engineering might increase once more this year. Over the past few years, there has also been a considerable revision of the MTech programs. In every category, the 2024 GATE Cut-off for EE was lower than the 2022 one. However, the GATE 2024 cut-off for EE has increased in comparison to 2023. In 2019, the GATE cut-off went up, and in 2020, it went down. After increasing once more in 2021, the GATE cut-off fell in 2022 and then continued to decline in 2023.
GATE 2025: Exam analysis
The electrical engineering (EE) paper's difficulty level was simple to moderate, according to the GATE 2025 exam analysis. Math, power electronics, electrical machines, network theory signal systems, control systems, EMM, EMT, analogue, digital, and microcontrollers were the subjects covered in the GATE 2025 EE question paper.

GATE: Qualifying cut-off Vs Admission cut-off
The minimum score needed to pass the GATE 2025 qualifying exam is known as the qualified cut-off. IIT Roorkee will reveal the GATE 2025 qualifying cut-off, which establishes qualification for admission to MTech programs and PSU recruitments.
The GATE 2025 admission cut-off, on the other hand, is the minimal score needed to gain admission to particular universities, such as IITs or NITs. The cutoff for GATE 2025 admissions differs for each institute.
GATE Cut-off 2025: Determining factors
The GATE cut-off is based on numerous parameters, including:
- Total number of candidates: A higher cut-off results from more applicants.
- Difficulty level of exam: The cut-off is raised for simple papers and lowered for challenging ones.
- MTech seat matrix in the college: The admission cut-off for that particular branch rises as a result of top institutes having fewer seats available.
- Performance of applicants: The GATE cut-off for admission and qualifying will rise if applicants perform well overall.
- Previous year trends: The necessary qualifying and admission scores for the upcoming session are also influenced by previous GATE cutoffs.
- Reservation policies: Government reservation regulations determine the cut-offs for certain groups.
GATE 2025: Exam centre shifted from Prayagraj to Lucknow
The GATE 2025 exam centres for the February 15 and 16 exams have been relocated from Prayagraj to Lucknow due to the Mahakumbh gathering.
