In order to get into NITIE, you should have to clear the GATE cut-off for that year.
The GATE cutoff generally remains around 729-760 for the General category and 420 to 550 for the reserved categories. NITIE recently released their GATE cutoff for 2021, which is as follows.
| Category | GATE Cutoff | 
| General | 609 | 
| OBC | 473 | 
| SC | 345 | 
| ST | 317 | 
| Physically disabled | 473 | 
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.
