GATE marks refer to the raw marks obtained by the candidate in the exam. GATE score is a normalized score on a scale of 0 to 1000, which takes into account the variation in difficulty levels of different exam sessions and the performance of all candidates. Institutes and PSUs primarily use the GATE score for shortlisting candidates.
