PSUs that recruit through GATE
Only PSUs whose own latest notice says GATE scores are used, read on their own sites on 2026-10-27. A cut-off is shown only where the PSU itself published one, as a link to its PDF with the date and what the figure is. GATE qualification does not assure a PSU job — the GATE organiser says so too.
