These toppers achieve the highest marks within their respective categories and play a key role in determining category-wise cutoffs.

GATE score is calculated using a normalisation process for multi-session papers. The formula ensures fairness across different sessions.

GATE Score Formula:

GATE Score = Sq + (St − Sq) × (M − Mq) / (Mt − Mq)

Where:

• M = Marks obtained by the candidate
  

• Mq = Qualifying marks for general category
  

• Mt = Mean of top marks (top 0.1% or top 10 candidates)
  

• Sq = 350 (score assigned to qualifying marks)
  

• St = 900 (score assigned to top marks)
  

This formula helps in standardizing scores across sessions.
