GITAM GAT PGTA Exam Pattern
GITAM GAT PGTA 2026: Exam Pattern. 2026 information reviewed on 25 September; retain the stated verification limits.
What is reported and what remains unconfirmed
Permitted 2026 secondary coverage describes the postgraduate engineering test as an English-language computer-based MCQ examination lasting 150 minutes. It reports 100 questions: 40 in quantitative and logical reasoning and 60 in a subject-based section, with two marks for each correct answer. This numerical description is retained as secondary-reported information, not a fully reconciled current official scheme.
The university's general admissions FAQ gives a different B.Tech summary, and its reference application page includes inconsistent subject blocks and placeholder content. Those pages do not provide a clean confirmation of the complete postgraduate scheme. In particular, this review does not establish the current PG negative-marking rule, detailed branch syllabus or whether all programmes use the same subject section.
| Reported PG feature | Evidence status |
|---|---|
| Computer-based MCQ delivery in English | Reported in permitted 2026 secondary coverage |
| Duration of 150 minutes | Reported; current official PG reconciliation incomplete |
| 40 reasoning and 60 subject questions | Reported; programme-specific confirmation needed |
| Two marks for a correct answer | Reported; issued instructions control |
| Negative marking and section navigation | Not established from a reliable current official PG scheme |
| Exact discipline syllabus | Must be obtained for the selected programme |
A candidate should request the applicable test instructions before using this table to build a final timed simulation. Preparation can continue meanwhile through degree fundamentals and reasoning practice. What should wait is a claim that a particular timing split, penalty or list of specialised topics is definitely the official 2026 paper.
