Cut Off
- The GITAM Institute of Science conducts the GSAT entrance exam every year to offer admissions to candidates in various undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
- The GSAT cut off is an important factor that determines whether a candidate is eligible for admission to the desired programme or not. The cut off is based on the merit list which is released after the results are declared.
- The GSAT cut off marks vary for each course and programme offered by the university. The number of candidates appearing for the exam, the number of seats available for both reserved and unreserved categories, and the cut off marks of the previous year's exam are some of the factors that determine the GSAT cut off.

In conclusion, the GSAT cut off is an essential factor that determines a candidate's eligibility for admission to various programmes offered by the GITAM Institute of Science. Candidates must keep themselves updated with the official website of the university to stay informed about the cut off marks and admission procedures. - Candidates who have appeared for the GSAT entrance exam must keep an eye on the official website of the university for updates regarding the cut off marks.
Exam Pattern
- The GITAM Institute of Science, which is a part of GITAM University, conducts GSAT as a national level entrance exam once a year for admission to various undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

- For admission to BEM/Five year integrated MSc Biotechnology/BSc, GSAT is divided into three sections: Mathematics, Physical Sciences, and Biological Sciences, with 30 questions in each section
- . Candidates must answer all three sections to qualify for admission. In the Qualifying examination (+2 or equivalent), candidates are required to answer sections A and B for Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry and sections B and C for Biology, Physics, and Chemistry.
- The maximum time for each section is one hour.
- Candidates who did not choose science optionals at Intermediate/+2 and are seeking admission to the BEM program must attempt Section-D of GSAT 2021. The entrance exam is crucial, and candidates must register and submit an application form to appear for it.
