GATE 2026 Important Dates

Verified dates and the present stage

As reviewed on 25 September 2026, GATE 2026 registration, examinations and result publication have finished. The dates below are historical milestones. They should not be displayed as upcoming registration opportunities or combined with a later examination year's application banner.

Later official announcements supersede tentative dates printed earlier. For example, an early brochure's proposed admit-card date should not replace the subsequent actual release date. A student checking an old email, a downloaded brochure and the live results page may therefore see different dates without all three describing the same stage of the process.

Candidates now handling admission or document verification should prioritise their scorecard, institute correspondence and applicable counselling notices. The existence of a GATE scorecard download window does not imply that every institute is still accepting applications. Examination administration and postgraduate admission run on different calendars, and a result can remain valid after a particular admission round has closed.
