GATE 2025 Toppers List: The Coaching institutes have released the GATE 2025 AIR 1 online. Abhay Singh secured AIR-1 in Civil Engineering, Rajneesh Bijarniya secured AIR-1 in Mechanical Engineering, and Nikhil Sadineni is AIR-1 for DA. Hemant Reddy secured AIR-3 in Civil Engineering.

IISc Bangalore h​as released the GATE 2025 Result on March 19, 2025. Along with the results, it will also released GATE Toppers list. GATE 2025 result is out at GOAPS portal on gate2025.iitr.ac.in. You will be able to download GATE 2025 Exam scorecards between March 28 to May 31, 2025. The GATE scorecards will be available for download from June 1 till December 31 by paying a fee of Rs 500 per test paper.

“After the results are announced, IIT Roorkee will release discipline-wise GATE 2025 toppers' list. The list is prepared by including the names of top-ranking candidates with marks and scores."

You can check branch-wise AIR 1 for all 30 papers from GATE Toppers List once it is released. On average, around 8-9 lakh candidates appear for GATE every year. This year, more than 8 lakh applications have been received for GATE 2025 Exam which is 25% more than the last year. GATE 2025 Toppers list Updates are as follows:

  • GATE cut-off 2025 for the Other Backward Classes (OBC) candidates might drop as previous years' trends suggest lower GATE scores.
  • According to the expected GATE marks vs rank 2025, 90+ marks can be considered a good score in the GATE 2025

In such a tough competition, securing an AIR 1 is quite challenging. To secure an AIR between 1 to 10, a candidate must score above 95 marks in GATE 2025. However, the marks vary as per branch also.

Ques. Who scored 100 in GATE?

Ans. Unfortunately, no one has ever scored perfect 100 marks in GATE. The highest ever score in GATE is 98.33 scored in ME in 2015. 

Ques. What is a good GATE rank in CSE?

Ans. A rank above 75 is considered to be a good rank in GATE CSE. Candidates securing more than 750 marks can get top IITs. 


Overall, GATE rank below 200 is considered good to get admission to IITs, or NITs. GATE 2024 Toppers list will be updated here once the results are out. However, you can check the list of previous years’ toppers to know GATE score at which candidates received an AIR 1.

Ques. Is it possible to get into IIT Tirupati just by the GATE qualifying marks?

Yes, it may be possible. Here are the reasons why- IIT Tirupati is a very new IIT, established in 2015. It is not well known currently, especially in North India.  It releases its applications quite early. Its MS and Phd. batches started only a few years ago, so those with better scores will prefer NITs over IIT Tirupati. The cutoff for MS is also low in IIT Madras because very few students are interested in pursuing the course. Ultimately, the number of applicants and the interview round will decide your fate. ...Read More

Ques. My son has scored 42.33 marks in GATE (CSE). Could you please suggest which IITs, NITs, or IIITs he might be eligible for an M.Tech in Computer Science?

With a GATE 2025 score of 42.33 marks in Computer Science, your son has comfortably crossed the General category qualifying cut-off mark of 29.2 marks and can be eligible for admission into a number of top institutes in India. Here is a quick analysis of where he stands and the options that actually confront him: Admission Possibilities Institute Type Chance for Admission in CSE Top IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, etc.) Unlikely, as cutoffs are usually 55–65+ marks Newer IITs (Jodhpur, Patna, Dhanbad, etc.) Possible in later rounds or for allied CSE branches Top NITs (Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal) Competitive, but admission more likely in later rounds or for specializations like information security and data science. Mid/Lower NITs Good chance for direct admission in CSE Top IIITs (Allahabad, Gwalior, Jabalpur) Competitive; possible depending on the round and specialization Other IIITs Good chances for CSE or related programs Recommendations: Apply through COAP (for IITs) and CCMT (for NITs/IIITs). Keep looking for related fields like Data Science, Cybersecurity, or Information Technology, which may have slightly lower cutoffs. And take all rounds of counseling, including spot rounds, as cutoff trends fluctuate every year. Also visit state universities and centrally funded colleges that accept GATE scores. Your son is rightly positioned for M.Tech admissions in all NITs, IIITs, and new IITs. CSE and this score will not make the top 5 IITs feasible, but there are plenty of good colleges where he can build a strong academic and professional life. Wishing your son best of luck for future admissions....Read More
