The Story in Brief
The Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, has postponed the start of GATE 2027 registration from August 14 to August 27, 2026, Hindustan Times reports. The last date to apply without late fee is now September 27, 2026, and extended registration with a late fee closes October 5. The exam will be held on February 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, and 21, 2027, for 30 test papers, with candidates allowed to appear in up to two papers. Application fee is Rs 1,000 for women, SC, ST, and PwD candidates during the regular period, and Rs 2,000 for others.
The Indian Opinion
Some may grumble about the two-week postponement, calling it last-minute confusion. But such schedule tweaks are common for a national exam, and the extra time helps candidates plan. The bigger question is whether GATE 2027 dates clash with other major tests or semester exams. Watch the final timetable for other examinations and state board calendars, that will tell us if students get a fair window.
