What students should do now
This is a live application cycle, so form accuracy and deadline tracking are more important than expected-date speculation.
- Apply before 12 October 2026 if you still need to register — the extended window carries a late fee.
- Check paper choice and eligibility before paying.
- Save the application details and watch the rectification window (14–21 October 2026).
- Use the official GATE syllabus for the chosen paper.
