ISRO Scientist Computer Science Exam Cut Off Marks
Updated 2026The recruitment process for the ISRO Scientist/Engineer (CS) position does not utilize a traditional 'cut-off' in the same way as a high-volume written examination. Instead, the primary barrier to entry is the requirement of a valid GATE score, which acts as the initial qualifying threshold. For the interview stage, there is a fixed qualifying requirement: candidates must secure a minimum of 60 marks out of the 100-mark interview.
Qualifying Requirements:
- Interview Minimum: 60 out of 100 marks.
- Final Merit: Based on a 50:50 weightage of the GATE score and the interview marks.
While the organization does not publish past cut-off tables for the interview itself, candidates should understand that because the total number of vacancies is limited to 14, the competition is intense. The 'effective' cut-off for the final selection will be determined by the performance of the top 14 candidates who meet the interview qualifying criteria. To maximize their chances, candidates should aim to perform significantly above the minimum threshold in both their GATE examination and the personal interview segments.
