NOTE
  • The test papers will be in English. Candidates opting to appear in TWO test papers must have a primary choice of test paper. The secondary test paper must be chosen from the allowed combinations given in the table above. Combinations other than the listed ones are NOT allowed in the initial (Regular and Extended) windows of registration. We may open up additional two-paper combinations at a later date, which will be notified on the GATE 2027 website. This is subject to the availability of infrastructure and scheduling feasibility.
  • The examination centre of a candidate for the secondary test paper may be different (but in the same city) from that for the primary paper due to infrastructure and scheduling constraints. GATE 2027 shall NOT be liable for any legal obligations arising out of this issue.
  • Under unforeseen circumstances, certain combinations may be removed from the list in the above table at a later date. In such cases, the fee paid towards the second test paper will be refunded to the candidates.
