Actual GATE Marks and Normalized GATE Marks
Some of the papers of GATE 2023 will be conducted in multiple sessions such as CE and ME. The difficulty level of sessions also differs. To calculate GATE Scores for these multiple session papers, score normalization is used.
Actual GATE Marks
- GATE Marks are calculated out of 100 for 65 questions.
- Each correct answer in GATE paper is awarded with 1 or 2 marks.
- In multiple-choice questions, for every incorrect answer 1/3 or 2/3 marks are deducted from the total.
- In the case of NATs and MSQs, no marks are deducted from the total.
GATE Marking Scheme
Sections | Total Questions | Total Marks | |
---|---|---|---|
1 mark Questions | 2 marks Questions | ||
General Aptitude | 5 | 5 | (5 x 1) + (5 x 2) = 15 |
Core Discipline | 25 | 30 | (25 x 1) + (30 x 2) = 85 |
Total | 30 | 35 | 100 |
GATE 2023 Negative Marking
Type of Question | GATE 2023 Negative Marking | |
---|---|---|
1 Mark Questions | 2 Marks Questions | |
Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) | 1/3 mark | 2/3 mark |
Multiple Select Questions (MSQs) | No negative marking | No negative marking |
Numerical Answer Type (NATs) | No negative marking | No negative marking |
Normalized GATE Marks
- In order to be fair to all the candidates, the authorities have come up with the process of normalization of GATE Marks. The formula and its explanation has been mentioned in the sections below.
- The raw marks obtained are converted to normalized marks using the formula.
- GATE Normalization is done base donthe assumption that "in all multi-session GATE papers, the distribution of abilities of candidates is the same across all the sessions".
GATE 2023 Score Normalization
- Every year due to the maximum number of candidates opting for ME, CE papers these two exams are conducted in multiple sessions i.e. in the morning and afternoon shift. So while calculating the scores of these papers the authorities use GATE 2023 Score Normalization.
- The formula used for GATE 2023 Score Normalization of marks of jth candidate in ith session is session ????̂???????? is given by-
- Further, the graph can help understand the relationship between the two scores better.
- Graph is showing the linear relationship between "actual marks" and "normalized marks" of a candidate, in multiple-session papers (CE or ME) of GATE 2023.
- Mgt = average marks of top 0.1 % candidates in all sessions of that subject.
- Mgq = mean + standard deviation, of marks of all candidates in all sessions of that subject.
- Mti = average marks of top 0.1 % candidates in the ith session of that subject.
- Miq = mean + standard deviation, of marks of all candidates in the ith session of that subject.

GATE 2023 Score Calculation
- For single session papers, only the actual GATE Marks are used to determine GATE Score. Whereas, for multiple session papers, both the actual/ raw marks and Normalized scores are used for GATE 2023 Score Calulation.
- The formula used for GATE 2023 Score Calulation is-
where,
- M: marks obtained in GATE (actual marks for single session papers and normalized marks for multi-session papers)
- Mq: Qualifying marks for general category candidate in GATE paper
- Mt: Mean of marks of top 0.1% or top 10 (whichever is larger) of candidates who appeared for GATE (in case of multi-session papers including all sessions)
- Sq: 350, is the score assigned to Mq
- St: 900, is the score assigned to Mt
GATE 2023 Qualifying Marks
The qualifying marks (out of 100) in GATE exam vary with different categories. Given below is the tabulated format for the same.
Category | Qualifying Marks (Out of 100) |
---|---|
General Category (Gen) | 25 or μ + σ, whichever is higher* |
Other Backward Classes (OBC) | 90% of the general category's qualifying mark |
Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (SC/ST) | 2/3 (i.e., 66.67%) of the general category's qualifying mark |
NOTE: In General Category, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation of the marks secured by all the candidates who appeared in that particular paper.
GATE 2023 Cut off
- GATE Cut off is published based on the scores of the candidates.
- Respective participating IITs release their own cut off list while the cut off for NITs is released in the form of opening and closing rank after each round of CCMT counselling.

- IIT Kanpur will release GATE Cutoff 2023 after the conclusion of the exam. The cutoff will be depended upon the following factors.
- Total Number of candidates appearing for the paper
- The difficulty level of GATE 2023
- Total number of available seats
- Category of the candidate seeking admission
