The Story in Brief
IIT Madras has shifted the start of GATE 2027 registration to August 27, 2026, from the earlier date of August 14, reports Times Now. The regular application window closes on September 27, with extended filing until October 5 on payment of a late fee. The exam is scheduled over six days in February 2027: February 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21. City allotment details will be released on January 4, 2027, and results on March 19.
A new subject, Robotics and Automation, has been added. Indian candidates must use DigiLocker to apply. The GATE score, valid for three years, is accepted for MTech and PhD admissions as well as for recruitment in several public sector companies.
The Indian Opinion
The two-week postponement of GATE 2027 registration is hardly a crisis. Aspirants have over a month to apply. The addition of Robotics and Automation reflects industry trends, not an extra burden. The DigiLocker requirement may irk some, but it reduces document fraud. The real test will be whether the certification truly opens more PSU jobs, not just PhD seats.
