IIT Roorkee GATE CSE Cutoff 2026: Branch-Wise Marks, Category Trends & Admission Insights

The search results are still a mix of “marks” (out of 100) and “scores” (out of 1000), and “qualifying cutoffs” vs. “admission cutoffs”. The prompt specifically asks for “real numbers” and “ranks”. GATE scores out of 1000 are more akin to ranks/scores for admission.

Let’s consolidate the most reliable and consistent data for IIT Roorkee GATE CSE *admission* cutoffs (scores out of 1000) for General category.

* **2025:** IIT Roorkee M.Tech CSE (General) cutoff was 720 (out of 1000).
* **2024:** Source gives “GATE Cutoff Score Range 2024” for CSE as 835-845. This is a range, and it’s higher than 2025, which contradicts a “tightening” trend if 720 is the closing. Source gives “IIT Roorkee, 650+” as an *approximate* GATE 2024 Score Range for M.Tech CSE. This is much lower than 835-845. This inconsistency is problematic.
* **2023:** Source gives “GATE Cutoff Marks Range 2023” for CSE as 67-71 (marks, not score out of 1000). Source gives “IIT Roorkee, 690” as the 2023 Score (out of 1000) for General Category (Direct Admission/Interview Call), but this is for the institute overall, not CSE specific.

The prompt is very strict: “NEVER fabricate numbers. If a category/branch/round figure isn’t in your sources, omit that row — don’t invent it.”

Given the conflicting and inconsistent data for 2024 and 2023 CSE *admission scores out of 1000*, especially for a year-on-year comparison, I cannot confidently state a “tightening” or “slipping” trend with specific numbers for CSE. The 835-845 for 2024 CSE and 720 for 2025 CSE would imply a *loosening* of cutoff, which contradicts the example “tightened”.

Let’s re-examine the data for a consistent trend.
Source provides a table with “2023 Cutoff”, “2024 Cutoff”, “2025 Cutoff” for various M.Tech programs in *marks* (not scores out of 1000).
For M.Tech Computer Science & Engineering:
* 2023 Cutoff: 67.26 marks
* 2024 Cutoff: 71.03 marks
* 2025 Cutoff: 71.21 marks

This is a consistent trend in *marks*. It shows a slight increase from 2023 to 2025. This is usable for a year-on-year trend.
It also provides category-wise expected cutoffs for 2026 in marks.

Let’s use the “marks” data from as it’s consistent across years and for CSE. This means my intro paragraph will need to reflect “marks” instead of “scores” or “ranks”.

**Revised Data Plan:**
* **2026 Cutoff Status:** Still “2025 (Latest — 2026 awaited)”. H1 says 2026.
* **Intro Paragraph:** Use the trend from for CSE marks.
* **Sections:**
* **Year-on-Year Trend (M.Tech CSE Marks):** Use data from for 2023, 2024, 2025. This satisfies “≥2 years × ≥2 branches” if I can find another branch. Source also has Chemical Engineering: 2023: 33.45, 2024: 43.19, 2025: 47.35. So I have two branches.
* **Branch-wise Cutoff (2025 Marks):** Use 2025 data from for multiple branches. It lists CSE (71.21), Chemical (47.35), Electric Drives (52.38), Power System (53.47), Systems and Control (55.50), Artificial Intelligence (68.25), Applied Mathematics (64.16). This is more than 4 branches.
* **Category-wise Cutoff (2025 Marks for CSE):** Source states “Highest Cutoffs: Across all the streams listed below, the IIT Roorkee GATE 2025 cutoff for M. Tech CSE was the highest, especially for the General category, at 71.21 marks.” It also mentions “Category-wise Gaps: The gap increases from general to reserved categories. 8-15 marks were recorded between GEN and OBC-NC students. Around a 15-20 mark gap was observed between the GEN and SC/ST categories.” This is qualitative.
However, source provides detailed category-wise *marks* for 2024 for many M.Tech courses (e.g., MTech Renewable and Hydro Energy, M.Tech Chemical Engineering, M.Tech Microelectronics and VLSI). It does not explicitly list CSE category-wise for 2024 in a single table, but it does have “M.Tech. Microelectronics and VLSI. 71.06812 (General), 70.96891 (OBC-NC), 48.5594 (SC), 54.11588 (ST)”. This is not CSE.
Source also provides *expected* 2026 category-wise cutoffs for CSE: General 70-75, OBC-NC 62-67, SC 50-55, ST 38-43. Since these are *expected* for 2026, I cannot use them for a 2025 “actual” category-wise table.
Given the lack of concrete, actual 2025 category-wise *marks* for CSE, I will likely have to omit a specific “Category-wise Cutoff for CSE” table. I can, however, create a general “Category-wise Cutoff for M.Tech Programs (2024)” using data from if it meets the “≥3 categories” rule for a specific branch. Let’s check Microelectronics and VLSI from: General, OBC-NC, SC, ST are 4 categories. This is good.

So, I will aim for:
1. Year-on-Year Trend (M.Tech CSE & Chemical Engg. Marks)
2. Branch-wise Cutoff (2025 Marks)
3. Category-wise Cutoff (2024 Marks for Microelectronics and VLSI)

This gives me 3 sections.
