GATE Score Calculation Formula

GATE score is computed using a standard formula that maps your marks to a scaled score. Below is the official formula, variable definitions, and a worked example.

Score Calculation Formula

Official GATE score normalization formula.

Official GATE Website

$$ \text{Score} = S_q + (S_t - S_q) \times \frac{M - M_q}{M_t - M_q} $$

Use paper-specific values for $ M_q $ and $ M_t $

Variable Definitions

$ M $ — Normalized marks obtained by the candidate
Example: $ M = 26.00 $
$ M_t $ — Average marks of top performers
Example: $ M_t = 75.01 $
$ M_q $ — Qualifying marks threshold
Example: $ M_q = 37.10 $
$ S_q $ — Qualifying score (typically 350)
Example: $ S_q = 350 $
$ S_t $ — Top score (typically 900–1000)
Example: $ S_t = 900 $

Worked Example

Substituting sample values into the formula:

$$ 350 + (900 - 350) \times \frac{26.00 - 37.10}{75.01 - 37.10} $$

This example is illustrative. Always use official paper-wise statistics.

Mean	25.14	Average marks of all candidates
Standard Deviation	13.62	Marks distribution spread
Top Performer Marks	75.01	Top 0.1% candidates
