Why should we know how much marks to score in GATE?
It eases your preparation - as you know your target marks it becomes easy to sort out high-weightage subjects and prepare them thoroughly. Know the weightage of subjects in GATE environmental science here.
It makes you feel relaxed while attending the exam - if you are aware that you can skip some 10 questions, you can relaxedly skip time-consuming questions and attempt the next easy ones.
Be aware that this is just a guide, and not like "okay I have to score only 75 marks to get AIR 100". Because there are several uncertainties in the GATE exam which are listed below.
If the exam is easy, you might have to attempt more questions.

GATE marks vs GATE rank for Environmental Science
From analysing the previous year GATE environmental science exam results, let's see how much mark is required to get an AIR100, AIR50, and qualifying marks.
AIR 50 - 72+ marks
AIR 100 - 69+ marks
Qualifying marks - 40+ marks
By seeing the above marks, it is clear that a lesser mark is only required to get an AIR 100 when compared to GATE civil engineering. But, as the average mark was higher last year, qualifying marks was at 40 + for the general category, and therefore more focus is required to qualify the paper. Also, as more PSUs are recruiting from GATE ES paper, it is advisable to get an AIR 50 to grab the opportunity of getting recruited in a PSU.
Aim for 70+ marks to get a top rank
