An Introduction to GATE and GATE Syllabus

GATE or Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering is a national-level examination. The Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT-K) and the other 6 IITs at Chennai, Kanpur, Roorkee, Delhi, Mumbai & Guwahati and the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru conduct the GATE examination on behalf of the National Coordination Board GATE under the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education (MoE), Government of India. IIT Guwahati is hosting GATE 2026, a computer-based test (CBT).

The GATE test aims to evaluate a candidate’s knowledge and aptitude in preparation for admission to engineering and management programmes for gate subjects There are 29 papers in the GATE 2026 examination. It must be noted that a candidate is allowed to appear either in one OR up to two papers in the GATE 2026 examination. However, a candidate is only permitted to select the second paper from the pre-defined Two Paper Combination list.

GATE 2026 TEST PAPERS

GATE 2026 will have a total of 30 test papers comprising full and sectional papers. A new sectional paper on Energy Science (XE-I) is introduced in the Engineering Sciences (XE) paper. A candidate can appear for one or two test papers. Only selected two-paper combinations are allowed for candidates appearing in two papers. GATE score obtained by the candidate will remain valid for a period of THREE years from the date of announcement of results.

GATE Exam Syllabus

For the students, passing the gate subjects exams is essential. Depending on the entrance requirements of the accepting institute,the gate syllabus will decide their admission and financial support to Postgraduate Programs (Master’s and Doctorate) as well as other Governmental Scholarships / Assistantships for GATE syllabus 2026.

Some PSUs (Public Service Undertakings) also consider the GATE syllabus Score while hiring candidates. The results of these tests are also used by many other universities in India and overseas to determine who gets admitted. Understanding a GATE Exam Syllabus would enable students to organize their studies effectively to ace the tests.

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 second 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 2026 website. This is subject to the availability of infrastructure and scheduling feasibility.

Attempt the GATE Mock Test Series and Solve the Previous Year’s Papers for the GATE
Minimum Resources, Maximum Revision. This will help the candidates to revise the information effectively while they can invest maximum effort and time to practice the papers and analyze their weak and stronger points.
Use Virtual Calculators so that you will be able to use them without any hustle at the exam centre
Follow a Schedule without any gaps. Being time-bound will only help you to achieve your goals.
