GATE Score

The GATE SCORE of a candidate is a statistical performance index in the range 0 to 1000. It reflects the ability of a candidate, irrespective of the paper or year in which he/she has qualified. Candidates with same GATE SCORE from different disciplines and/or years can be considered to be of equal ability.GATE Score = K1 + K2 ((m-a)/s) where, m = marks obtained by the candidate.a = average of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard, in the current year.s = standard deviation of marks of all candidates who appeared in the paper mentioned on this scorecard, in the current year.K1 and K2 are determined respectively from the mean and standard deviation of marks of all candidates across all papers and years since GATE 2002.

A typical qualitative interpretation of the GATE SCORE, for example, can be as follows:
Ability Level GATE Score Range
Outstanding 800 to 1000
Excellent 675 to 800
Very good 550 to 675
Good 425 to 550
Above average 300 to 425
Average 100 to 300
Below average Below 100

The cut off for various institutes vary every year. A higher cut off one year doesn't mean it'll be high the next year too.
