Important Updates and Deadline Reminders
- The regular registration deadline without a late fee was extended till October 7, 2025, to allow more candidates to develop their candidacy.
- Similarly, October 9, 2025, will be the last day to submit your GATE 2026 application with the applicable late fee.
- After tomorrow, no applications will be accepted.
- Visit the GATE official website at gate2026.iitg.ac.in for updates, registration links, official announcement and details
Why You Must Act Now
- One last opportunity - This is indeed your last opportunity; there will be no further extension once the portal is closed.
- Safeguard against technical glitches - Last-minute traffic often causes the server to crash, payments will not be successful, and uploaded documents may not be submitted
- Take advantage of benefits - Your registration will get you into the GATE process for postgraduate admissions(MTech, ME) and potentially PSUs (if they accept GATE scores).
- Score validity and timing - Remember, after the registration closes, you can start preparing for the exam (which will occur early in 2026) and will be able to subsequently check your results on the portal.
