GATE 2027 Registration Begins August 27: Key Dates, Fees, and Documents to Prepare Now
GATE 2027 registration will open on August 27, 2026, after a reschedule. The regular deadline is September 27, with a late-fee window until October 5. Exams are slated across February 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21, 2027. Registration uses DigiLocker and facial verification for security.
Aspirants should also note the correction window from October 14 to 21, 2026, and city allotment on January 4, 2027. Early readiness reduces document errors and fee escalations. The schedule matters for postgraduate admissions cycles and Public Sector Undertaking opportunities tied to valid GATE scores.

GATE 2027 application document checklist
Keep a white‑background passport photo and signature as per pixel and file-size specs. Arrange a valid photo identity, degree or eligibility proof, and applicable SC, ST, Economically Weaker Section, Persons with Benchmark Disability, or dyslexia certificates. Expect DigiLocker data fetch and live photo capture; shortlist six exam cities within one zone.
GATE 2027 registration, fees and two-paper choice
Fees per paper are Rs 1,000 for female, SC, ST, and PwD candidates during regular dates, and Rs 2,000 for others; late-window fees rise by Rs 500. Two-paper attempts are allowed only in approved combinations, so lock paper codes early to avoid clashes or later changes.
GATE 2027 exam pattern and new papers
The exam spans 30 papers, with Robotics and Automation introduced this year. Textile Engineering and Fibre Science moves under Engineering Sciences sections. General Aptitude carries 15 marks across papers. Check revised syllabi before practice to align topic depth and recent additions.
Why these dates matter for PSU and PG admissions
IIT Madras confirms three‑year score validity and continued use by premier institutes and many PSUs. Results are scheduled for March 19, 2027, which feeds directly into admission and recruitment calendars. Timely applications protect choices on cities, papers, and budgets.
With three days to go, finalize paper choices, prepare compliant images, gather certificates, and verify DigiLocker credentials. Confirm fee slabs and city preferences now, and watch for any additional correction‑window advisories on the portal. Small, early fixes prevent costly, last‑minute hurdles in September and October.
