As you can see, Engineering Mathematics and Data Structures and Algorithms, which contribute to
30-40 percent of the marks are the most important sections and hence cannot be ignored. From
GATE2010 onwards, a general aptitude section, contributing to 15 percent, has been added. This
section too is critical and adequate emphasis must be placed in order to maximize your chances.
GATE 2010 Cutoff
A total of 107086 people appeared in the CS paper of GATE 2010 and the cutoff for the general
category in GATE 2010 was 25, 22.50 for OBC and 16.67 for SC/ST/PD out of 100.
Admission to ME/M.Tech/MS Programs
The table below shows the AIR you would need to get an interview call/admission from various
sets of institutes. This information is meant to be a basic guideline only. The department and
institute specific cutoffs and the processes will be discussed after the results of GATE 2011.

As you can see, Engineering Mathematics, Analog circuits and Signals and Systems,
which contribute to 25-30 percent of the marks are the most important section and
hence cannot be ignored. Remaining all other sections more or less carry equal
marks. From GATE2010 onwards, a general aptitude section, contributing to 15 percent, has
been added. This section too is critical and adequate emphasis must be placed in order to
maximize your chances.
GATE 2010 Cutoff
A total of 104291 people appeared in the EC paper of GATE 2010 and the cutoff for the
general category in GATE 2010 was 25, 22.50 for OBC and 16.67 for SC/ST/PD out of 100.
