There are basically 2 steps for getting admission at NITIE.
First, you need to clear the GATE cut-off in order to get a call for the GD-PI round. The GATE cutoff depends on the GATE score and not the marks. The required GATE cutoff varies each year depending on the application pool. However, the cutoff stays generally around 650-700. Here is the GATE cutoff for 2021.
| Category | GATE Cutoff |
| General | 609 |
| OBC | 473 |
| SC | 345 |
| ST | 317 |
| Physically disabled | 473 |
Second, after you've received a call you will have to ace GD and PI.
So, if you want to get into any of the postgraduate PGDIE/PGDMM/PGDPM programs, you must build a very strong profile.
At present, the overall CAT cutoff at IIM Shillong for general category is around 90 percentile, and the sectional cutoff is 75 percentile. This is just the minimum required percentile. The call is received by candidates who have a strong academic background other than a good CAT result. The next steps after the CAT exam are WAT and PI.
For the final shortlisting after PI round, IIM Shillong assigns 30% weightage to CAT score, 40% to PI score, 10% weightage to work experience, and 15% to class 10th and 12th score. You can check the 2023 CAT sectional cutoffs for various categories at IIM Shillong.
Yes, there is news about the addition of 175 seats in PEC Chandigarh and many are thinking that the cut-off marks will decrease as a result. With the increase in numbers of seats, the cut-offs are supposed to go down but it might not decrease for popular branches like CSE, ECE, Mechanical. There might be a difference of a few marks for some of the courses, but other than this everything is likely to remain the same.

The CAT score is an essential criterion for getting accepted but EMPI Business Schools conducts their own aptitude test in order to understand the real potential of the candidate.
The test includes IQ/PAT (personality assessment test), GD, and PI. Since your college would have an impact on your career, you should not risk opting for a cheaper MBA college. Instead, an institution known for its quality program in the market for two decades would be a better option.
Before opting for any college, you should take a tour of the campus and communicate with the seniors to get better knowhow of the institution. An 80+ percentile in CAT would be sufficient for your acceptance here.
EMPI Business School is one of the best MBA colleges in the Delhi NCR region. A friend of mine studying here was able to secure a summer internship in CDJ Law Journal. However, clearing your internal aptitude test would get you through it.
Considering the fact that there would be negative marking, a score of 150 and above would help you in securing a seat in Dibrugarh University for Petro-Chemical Branch. However, the score can vary as it depends on your overall performance.
The number of seats available at the Petrochemical Branch is low. Due to this, the cutoff has been set high. Unless you ace your exam, you would not be able to secure a seat here.
The placement opportunities are not good and hardly 2-3 students receive proper job offers. This influences the decision of many students who were willing to be a part of Dibrugarh University in order to be placed in an esteemed company.
The cutoff varies from year to year. It is highlighted in the following data:
| Course | General | SC | ST | TFW |
| Computer Science Engineering | 349-2877 | 6740 | 8229 | 1095-3214 |
| Chemical Engineering | 991-8959 | 12098 | 73158 | 4577-6116 |
| Mechanical Engineering | 1267-7986 | 10548 | 38299 | 5132-6922 |
| Civil Engineering | 1294-9790 | 13076 | 57285 | 6981-9740 |
| Electronics & Communication Engineering | 1699-4960 | 8814 | 29889 | 3258-4618 |
| Electrical Engineering | 2078-5980 | 11133 | 33361 | 5269-5470 |
| Information Technology | 2900-3642 | 6894 | 39605 | 3467-3532 |
| Applied Electronics and Instrumentation | 4427-8330 | 12505 | 75981 | 5404-7323 |
| Biotechnology | 4928-12233 | 13245 | - | 7218-8923 |
Cutoffs also depend on the streams you want to pursue.
CUSAT has two campuses. There is a difference in infrastructure and facilities in the two campuses, thus having separate demands among candidates. So, the cut-off ranks of similar departments in the two campuses of CUSAT are different.
Hope this gives you some idea about the cut-offs of both the campuses of CUSAT.
The cutoff varies from branch to branch and also category. The VSSUT JEE-Main Cutoff 2022 for the General Category for various branches has been mentioned below.
