GATE 2027 Fee Structure
The fee structure is set by the organizing IIT each year. GATE 2027 is organized by IIT Madras. The table below shows the fee per paper based on the official GATE 2027 application fees. If you register for 2 papers (only specific combinations are allowed), the fee is charged separately for each paper.
| Category | Regular Period | Extended Period | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Paper | 2 Papers | 1 Paper | 2 Papers | |
| Female / SC / ST / PwD | Rs 1,000 | Rs 2,000 | Rs 1,500 | Rs 2,500 |
| All other candidates (incl. foreign nationals) | Rs 2,000 | Rs 4,000 | Rs 2,500 | Rs 4,500 |
These fees are per paper. If you register for 2 papers, multiply accordingly. Verify the exact fee on the official GATE 2027 fee page before paying. Not sure if you qualify? Use the eligibility checker first.
Two-Paper Registration Rules
GATE allows you to register for a second paper, but only from a list of pre-approved combinations published on the GATE 2027 application fees page. You cannot pick any two papers freely. For example, CS can be combined with MA (Mathematics), and ME can be combined with PI (Production and Industrial). The second paper is scheduled on a different day so there is no time conflict.
Each paper is charged separately at the same per-paper rate. A General male candidate registering for 2 papers pays Rs 2,000 x 2 = Rs 4,000 during regular registration. The late fee is also applied per paper if you register after the deadline.
Registering for 2 papers gives you 2 separate scorecards. This is useful when you want to apply for M.Tech in departments that accept different papers, or when you want to keep PSU recruitment options open across disciplines. Payment is processed through the GOAPS portal.
