GATE 2027 Syllabus is prescribed by the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) Organizing Committee, comprising representatives from IISc Bangalore and the seven IITs. The exam spans 29 subject-specific papers, each built around three components: General Aptitude (15 marks), Engineering Mathematics (approximately 13 marks in most papers), and a core technical section (approximately 72 marks). As of August 2026, the GATE 2027 official notification is expected imminently — the syllabus closely follows the GATE 2026 structure, and you can begin preparation now using the well-established topic list.

  • GATE 2027 offers 29 paper choices; you may appear in up to two papers (subject to the permitted combination list in the official notification).
  • General Aptitude (GA) — 15 marks — is common to all 29 papers and tests Verbal Ability and Numerical Ability.
  • Engineering Mathematics — approximately 13 marks — is compulsory in most technical papers and shares significant overlap across disciplines.
  • The five highest-enrollment GATE papers are CS, EC, ME, CE, and EE — together accounting for over 65% of all GATE registrations.
  • GATE 2027 scores will be valid for 3 years from the date of result declaration and are accepted by IITs, NITs, IISc, and PSUs.
  • The GATE EY (Ecology and Evolution) paper syllabus has been stable since 2021 — the 2027 version is expected to retain all seven sections.
  • You should build your preparation around standard undergraduate textbooks — GATE questions test first-principles understanding drawn directly from these texts.
