GATE Mechanical Engineering Cutoff: Admission Cutoff

The Admission cutoff is different from the Qualifying cutoff for GATE exam, as each participating college releases its own admission cutoff. Especially for subjects like GATE ME, where the demand is very high the colleges have very high cutoff. Top colleges have a higher cutoff and offer better placements for GATE Mechanical Engineering.
