Part 4: Verified Data Proof – How Low Scores Get Top Seats

Many students feel discouraged looking at the high cutoffs of Round 1. However, we have compiled verified data from the National Spot Round (NSR) that tells a completely different story. The sheet below highlights how cutoffs drastically drop for specific branches in NITs, opening doors for scores as low as 350-400.

👇 Detailed Data Sheet Breakdown 👇

NIT(LOW_SCORE) DATA_LIST

Key Observations from the Data:

  • Massive Drop in Cutoffs: As you can see in the data (e.g., NIT Meghalaya), the difference between the Regular Round and Spot Round cutoff can be over 100 points.
  • Opportunity in Specializations: Branches like 'Information Security' or 'Communication Systems' in good NITs (like NIT Surat) often have much lower cutoffs in Spot Rounds compared to core CSE.
  • Don't Lose Hope: If your score is in the 350-500 range, the Spot Round is your best chance. The data proves that seats are available if you are patient and strategic.

Targeting the Top?

To secure a seat in Round 1 at a top IIT or NIT (Score 750+), you need deep conceptual clarity. The GO Classes Complete GATE Course is designed to get you there.
