While ranking is calculated based on marks, which itself is a result of how well you performed against peers while facing a standardized test paper (due to normalization), your actual marks also form an extremely crucial part of this evaluation.
GATE Marks Vs Rank Calculation: Key Points to Note
Here's a breakdown of the key points:
- The GATE examination consists of 65 questions, out of which a total 100 marks are available.

GATE Ranking Advantages and Disadvantages
Having a good ranking in the GATE (G radial Aptitude Test for Engineering) examination is extremely important for securing higher studies such as M.Tech or MS, as well as employment opportunities in different organizations.
However, while having a high rank seems advantageous, there are disadvantages to being high ranked with the following downsides:
- Higher competition for placements
- Higher selection criteria from some organizations
To minimize these complications it is advisable to check and analyze the cut-off marks before applying for colleges or jobs.
