Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Gandhinagar
The cutoff for IIT Gandhinagar (IITGN) represents the minimum rank or score required for admission into various programmes. For B.Tech admissions, cutoffs are determined through JEE Advanced ranks released during JoSAA counselling rounds. Postgraduate programmes such as M.Tech and M.Sc consider GATE and JAM scores respectively. Cutoff values vary each year depending on seat availability, applicant performance, category reservations, and programme demand. Lower rank numbers indicate higher competition.
