Many students with a GATE rank around 800 manage to get shortlisted. But the further screening in the form of a written test is a bit challenging after which you have to appear for the interview.
While many may consider JEE as the only criteria for admission to IITs, the written test and interview also need considerable preparation. This can be done by going through textbooks and brushing your basics. The written test evaluated your problem-solving capacity while the interview evaluated your clarity of concepts.
