The Story in Brief
IIT Madras has revised the GATE 2027 registration schedule, moving the application start date from August 14 to August 27, 2026. The regular registration window will close on September 27, while applications with a late fee can be submitted until October 5 through the official portal. Indian applicants must use DigiLocker. The exam will be held on February 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21, 2027. City allotments are due on January 4, with results scheduled for March 19.
GATE 2027 will add Robotics and Automation as a new test paper. Scores are used for postgraduate, research and PhD admissions, as well as some public sector recruitment, and remain valid for three years from the results date.
The Indian Opinion
The delay is an administrative change, not a reason to treat the exam as easier or harder. Claims that a new Robotics and Automation paper will automatically improve job prospects are also premature, since admissions and recruitment depend on individual institutions and employers. Candidates should focus on eligibility, paper combinations and complete documents rather than last-minute speculation. The useful test is whether the official portal accepts applications smoothly from August 27 and publishes the promised dates without another revision.
