Overview
- IIT Madras extended the GATE 2027 registration deadline to October 5, 2026, on Monday, giving candidates extra time to complete their applications.
- Media reports differ on whether the October 5 extension is subject to a late fee and whether a late-fee window runs to October 12, so the GOAPS portal is the authoritative source for fee timing.
- All applications must be submitted via the GOAPS site at gate2027.iitm.ac.in and Indian nationals are required to use DigiLocker to upload identity documents.
- The correction window is scheduled for October 14–21, 2026, the exam is set for February 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21, 2027, and results are expected on March 19, 2027.
- GATE 2027 will cover 30 papers and adds Robotics and Automation as a new paper; fee slabs reported are ₹1,000 for female/SC/ST/PwD and ₹2,000 for others during the regular period with higher charges for extended periods.
