He is GATE qualified but I don't think his composite IQ is officially gifted - high, but not over 140. The low scoring components pull a pretty heavy drag on it.
There's no one set number for giftedness; depends on local decisions as to the cutoff. It's usually around 120-25, so if your son is anywhere near 149, he's highly gifted.
