Reasoning Behind the Declines in GATE 2025 Cut-Off Scores
Experts attribute the reduced mark-cut off to these reasons:
- Increased difficulty in tested material across the board
- Trends where student average performance decreases
- Decline in the number of students showing up in particular streams
It is important to highlight that segments of Electrical Engineering offered what was perceived to be a minimalistic challenge in comparison to other tested subjects, bolstering the notion of there being a surplus of contestants. Yet this region’s cut-off score dropped dramatically.
