What are the Gate ScoreS for PSU recrUitment

GATE 2016 CorrEspondEnCE proGrAm prEmium

Dear GATE Aspirants,

Over the years, GATE scores have been used for not just for M.Tech admissions but for recruitment by leading PSUs to the entry level jobs for graduate engineers. This has led to an increase in the number of GATE applicants aspiring for PSU recruitment. Many of the GATE applicants have no idea of the scores required for an interview call to the PSUs they have applied to.

Careers360 has received several queries over the years regarding the GATE scores that are required for a call to a PSU interview. So we have compiled the information available to us to enable all the GATE aspirants to have an idea of the GATE cutoffs used for recruit-ment by PSUs.

It should be mentioned that these GATE scores are indicative and have been compiled from the data from the previous years. The GATE cutoffs for PSU recruitment listed in this Ebooks are indicative and not to be construed as final.

We at Careers360 hope that candidates applying to PSUs through GATE may decipher the information and cutoff scores to hone their GATE Preparation and get an interview call to the PSU of their choice.

All the Best!

Team Careers360

What are the GATE scores required for psu recruitment?

Careers360 has received several queries over the years regarding the GATE scores that are required for a call to a PSU interview. The GATE Cutoff scores

are mentioned below for different PSUs. It may however be noted that these cutoff scores are indicative. The Cutoff scores for PSU recruitment depend solely on the company policy and various other factors. Moreover, they differ from

discipline to discipline. Another point to be noted is that some PSUs have also used their own normalization formula for selection of GATE applicants for the interviews. This table below is designed to give all the PSU applicants through GATE Scores an idea about the kind of scores required to be called for an interview and more. It is in no way to be con-strued as the final Cutoffs for any PSU recruitment.

* The above are GATE percentile scores

As can be seen from the above scores, the GATE cutoff required are on the higher side and only candidates who are in the top ranks stand a chance of being called for interviews. On a general note, the number of candidates who are called

for interviews are around 4 times more than the actual requirement. This is because the top rankers get to choose the company they will join and therefore the PSUs call a large number of candidates for the interviews.
