How much should one score in their GATE examination, to get a seat in IIT Madras?
The score required in GATE to get a seat in IIT Madras varies every year depending on various factors such as the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the exam, and the number of available seats in the institute.
Here is a general idea of the GATE score required to secure a seat at IIT Madras:
- For M.Tech programs: Candidates need to score at least 600-700 marks (out of 1000) to have a good chance of getting into IIT Madras. However, the cutoff score may vary depending on the department, category (General/OBC/SC/ST), and the candidate's GATE score relative to other applicants.
- For Ph.D. programs: GATE score for Ph.D. programs in IIT Madras is also department-specific and varies depending on the research area and the number of available seats. Generally, candidates with a GATE score above 650-700 have a good chance of being shortlisted for the Ph.D. program at IIT Madras. However, the cutoff score may vary depending on the department and the number of qualified applicants.
It is important to note that the GATE score is just one of the criteria for admission to IIT Madras, and the institute also considers other factors such as academic performance, work experience, research publications, and performance in the written test and/or interview. Candidates are advised to check the department-wise cutoff scores and the admission criteria on the IIT Madras website and prepare accordingly.

If you are talking exclusively about GATE, remember, the results depend upon your rank.
If you were to opt for CS (general category) and have a rank below 150, your chances of admission are high. This may be the same for other branches as well.
Ranks vary with the specialization you opt for. For instance, when it comes to electrical, VLSI is one such specialization that fills up before others. For VLSI, your rank should be close to 100.
As far as CS is concerned, you do not need a specific specialization. No interview would be conducted and your admission would depend upon one factor- your GATE score. For MS, there would be a proper entrance followed by an interview and its eligibility depends upon your GATE score exclusively.
Admission Procedure: All IITs conduct their own admission and almost everyone applies there. Because of this, not one, but 4-5 lists are published by IIT-M because of the number of varying offers.
Spot admissions also take place in the case of seats that remain unfilled. All the information about these spot rounds would be disclosed on the website.
