• The test papers will be in English. Candidates who choose to take TWO exam papers must have a preferred test paper.

• The second test paper must be selected from the acceptable combinations listed in the table as provided by the official authority.

• If any candidate chooses a combination other than those listed, they will not be permitted to apply for those combinations during the initial registration windows.

• The official website may offer more two-paper combinations at a later date, which will be announced on the GATE 2026 website.

• A candidate’s examination centre for the second test paper may differ (but may remain in the same city) from that for the first paper.

• The official conducting body may remove certain combinations from the list in the future due to unforeseeable situations. In such instances, the amount paid for the second test paper will be reimbursed to candidates.
