GATE 2022 Cut off for IIT Madras is the minimum score required by the candidates to secure admission to M.Tech courses. GATE 2020 Cut off for IIT Madras for Computer Science & Engineering discipline was 811 for Gen/EWS, 721 for OBC, 542 for SC, and 457 for ST category. GATE 2020 cut off for IIT Madras was the highest for the Microelectronics & VLSI Design discipline, i.e., 876. For other disciplines of M.Tech, the average IIT Madras cut off 2020 was above 700 for the General category candidates. Check GATE Cut off

GATE 2022 will be conducted on Feb 5, 6, 12, and 13, 2022. M.Tech admission to IIT Madras will be granted on the basis of GATE 2022 scores and the choices provided in the application form. IIT graduates having a B.Tech degree with a CGPA of 8.0 (on a scale of 10) or above can apply without GATE Scores. Based on past trends, IIT Madras M.Tech admission process is expected to begin in the third week of March 2022.
