GATE 2027 regular registration extended to 5 October 2026 with no late fee

What happened

IIT Madras, the organising institute, extended the regular registration deadline after receiving many requests. The exam will be held on 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21 February 2027 as a computer based test.

Why it may matter

• This is time-bound — there is an application or deadline involved, so check the dates before they pass.
• Evidence rather than policy — useful for understanding a trend.
• Useful if you are trying to find an internship or get a job.
• Affects students in India.
