After that, you must prepare and ace the group discussion and interview, because they carry huge weightage. So, even if you have a low gate score or have just managed to clear the cut-off. You can get admission if you perform well in GD and PI. Similarly, students with a high gate score but low performance in GD and PI can get rejected.
So, be well prepared for all of it because you can get through with a balanced performance.
