After GATE most of you will have one main question – where will I get admit. For this, last year cutoff is a good metric. But again many of the cutoffs are not available. Thanks to gatecselastrank.com most of the available details and also any relevant official links can be found. In this post I’ll quickly summarize some relevant information.

  1.  In 2019, for CSE all IISc/IIT except IITK/D were doing direct admit. (This does not include some related courses like IISc. AI, IISc CDS etc. and some new IITs where there were interviews). In 2020, even IITK will be doing direct admit.
  2. For Research admissions there are always interviews and this year also it should be the case.
  3. Expected last ranks for DIRECT ADMITS this year is as follows (after the last round and not the first round)
      Gen EWS OBC NCL
    IISc CSA 70-110 80-130 300-400
    IITB TA 70-130 80-150 300-400
    IITM/D/K/Kgp 200-250 220-300 450-650
    IITG/H/R 300-360 350-430 650-1000
  4. For NIT cutoffs you can see last year CCMT stats and convert the score cutoff to rank. 

  5. If you are general and your rank is 250-2000, you should be preparing for interviews as well as for IIITH/BITS

  6. If your rank is worse than 2000 and you are general, there is no good option available via GATE – you might get some lower NITs which is not worth going especially if you do not have good technical skills. IIITH/BITS are still an option.

  7. New IITs are worth going if you can find a good faculty to work under. Most of them may not have enough quality professors and placement setup also may not be properly established. If you are thinking about REPEAT please watch this video

  8. Regarding how to prepare for interviews, all the information you can get HERE thanks to Balaji Jagan and at the following links thanks to Lakshman Patel.

  9. For those not expecting any good admissions you have the following options

    1. Try for GRE

    2. Give exams like ISRO, NIELIT etc where the questions are a lot different from GATE and practice does translate to a good rank

    3. Try for CAT or MBA abroad

    4. Try for a job

    5. If you know how to get a good rank, you can repeat. Otherwise you can join a coaching and at least help run their business

    6. I’m not a life coach – I’m only passing you whatever information I have. Please do not ask me for advise.

Please submit here your interest. It is personally important for me as this might be the last time I'll be meeting GATE aspirants together. As some of you might know by April I'll be moving to UK and will be there at least for next 2 years. Thanks Stanly SamuelAnup Patel and Deepak Poonia for considering the request.

PRAGYS APP

Since many people are not fully aware of the features of Pragy’s app, I’m listing them here:

  1. You can calculate your mark by giving your response URL here: https://gateoverflow.in/mymarks/index.php No user details required.
  2. You can get the current rank (among those who used the app) as well as the estimated rank and score from here: https://gateoverflow.in/mymarks/VisualizeMarks.php
  3. Regarding the accuracy of the predictor you can see what happened last year: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VuLslsr6ONupFJHXmQWQlCyR0FoUP2Oa-zthqE7tl1A/edit#gid=739634420
  4. Regarding where all to apply, you can use the College Suggestion part of the app here: https://gateoverflow.in/mymarks/ScoreToColleges.php?score=633.24
  5. Almost all the good options are given above though data for some reserved categories are missing as they weren’t available anywhere. 
  6. MUST read out the points given in the College Suggestion part.

Rank predictor not working till tomorrow

Response sheet is out.
139

Guess most of you are eagerly waiting for response sheets to be out. It can come anytime but can also take a few days. Anyway just wanted to tell a few things.

  1. Your GATE rank may get you an IISc/IIT seat
  2. GATE is not the only exam for doing Master studies; IIITH, BITS are very good and so do CMI, ISI, IIST etc. I dont know how many even applied for JEST exam which is next week. This exam can get you a seat in even IISc. While many people are arguing for the imaginary questions and their solutions, smart people are eagerly preparing for this exam.
  3. Some people continuously take stupid decisions in their life -- I'm telling from a real life example I'm seeing now. This is your life, decide wisely. All the information you can get from Google but in the end you should use your "brain" to process them.
  4. Dropping is not for everyone - last year I made a video explicitly saying who all should definitely NOT DROP. Interestingly even those who liked those videos went on to drop. Anyway it is your or your parent's money, and your time.
  5. Once rank predictor is up, I’ll be adding some real world (open source) assignments. It’ll be hard but definitely worth doing whether you are a GATE topper or not. Once you get experienced with real world stuff, you’ll be valuable like an IIScian or IITian.
