Faqs

Petroleum Engineering (PE) is one of the papers in the GATE exam . The cutoff for GATE Petroleum Engineering (PE) is determined on the basis of several factors such as competition, i.e., the total number of candidates who cleared the exam and previous years' cutoffs. Through GATE PE, the candidates can get admission in M.Tech Petroleum Engineering and associated courses. In addition, the GATE PE score is also valid for PSU recruitment . However, the cutoff for PSUs can be different from the official cutoff released by the GATE exam authority. The authority of the GATE exam releases only the qualifying cutoff for PE paper, and the same will vary for CCMT counselling and COAP counselling .

My gate score is 534 and air is 2362 , general category. Where can I expect my admission. Can I get microelectronics in bits

With a GATE score of 534 and AIR 2362 in general category, admission to top IITs in microelectronics may be tough. BITS also has very high cutoffs. but LPU offers strong M.tech programs in VLSI & microelectronics with good labs, industry tie-ups and placements, making it a great choice.

I am from the "Electronics and Computer Science" branch. If I appear for GATE in the Electronics and Communication (EC) paper, will I still be eligible for the PSU hiring process, considering their strict branch‑specific criteria?

If you are a Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) graduate appearing for GATE in Electronics and Communication (EC) paper, you may face challenges in PSU hiring, since there are specific eligibility for the qualifying degree branch. For example, PSUs like NTPC, BHEL, Power Grid, and NPCIL only accept graduates in BE/B.Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE). Graduates in ECS may qualify for CS/IT-focused PSUs through CS paper instead. However, recruitment to certain PSUs like ONGC, IOCL will be done through GATE 2026 only.
