The examination will be conducted across 30 test papers, including a new test paper on Robotics & Automation (RA). Candidates can appear for either one test paper or up to two test papers, subject to the permitted two-paper combinations.

The revised syllabus is particularly important for candidates who have already started preparing based on the GATE 2026 syllabus. The official information also carries an update regarding the Biotechnology (BT) syllabus, and candidates are advised to check the revised details carefully.

The GATE 2027 examination will be held for 30 test papers, including AE, AG, AR, BM, BT, CE, CH, CS, CY, DA, EC, EE, ES, EY, GE, GG, IN, MA, ME, MN, MT, NM, PE, PH, PI, RA, ST, XE, XH, and XL.

All GATE 2027 question papers will be set in English and will carry a total of 100 marks. The General Aptitude (GA) section will be common across all papers and will carry 15 marks. The remaining 85 marks will be based on the syllabus of the respective test paper.

The Engineering Sciences (XE) paper has also undergone changes in its section codes and structure. The XE0 Engineering Mathematics section will be compulsory and will carry 15 marks. Candidates will then have to select any two optional sections, with each section carrying 35 marks.

The available optional sections are XE1 – Fluid Mechanics, XE2 – Materials Science, XE3 – Solid Mechanics, XE4 – Thermodynamics, XE5 – Polymer Science and Engineering, XE6 – Food Technology, XE7 – Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, XE8 – Energy Science, and XE9 – Textile Engineering & Fibre Science.

The Textile Engineering & Fibre Science section, earlier listed under the TF code, has been converted to XE9 for GATE 2027.

The changes in the GATE 2027 syllabus and test paper structure are significant, and candidates are advised to carefully check the detailed question paper pattern and the updated syllabus of their chosen paper before preparing their study plan.
