One of my friends from NITIE mentions that for the mechanical engineering course under the general category, there are different requirements of GATE score by the college for the admission process. 

• For the general category, for any branch, the score of GATE is around 650. 
• There is no branch preference given over any other branches.
• There are different cut-offs for every year and it depends on a lot of factors. 
• The factors include the average GATE scores of the students, the total no of received applications, and many others. 
• The last and final selection depends on factors such as the 10th aggregate, 12th aggregate, graduation aggregate, GATE score, group discussion, and personal interview. 
• There are different weights for every factor and after all the calculations with their respective weights are done, the final list is prepared.

The GATE score is quite difficult to say as there can be even a waiting list if there is a requirement for the same. Therefore, if a person gets the required minimum GATE score and performs well in the GD and PI round. Then there is a possibility of getting the call as the shifting in the waiting list is not predictable.

Students essentially opt for NITIE Mumbai since it provides better job prospects. The reasons can vary from one place to another. Here are things you should take into account before taking any decision:

1. NITIE Mumbai is not a good institute because it produces managers across the industry by illicit means.
2. Besides, it has been found that the institute often misleads students about the placement stats they have established over time. It is one reason why several GATE rankers get lured in for admission purposes.
3. The degree you receive will unfortunately not be having a vital demand industrially. These institutes often also maintain a high fee structure and simultaneously employ low-quality faculty members. It is one of the major drawbacks the institute is part of.
4. Sometimes, several fresh graduates find it essentially hard to secure jobs worth 10,000 to 15,000 per month. 

This whole scenario has resulted in untimed deception for GATE aspirants.
