GATE 2027 Registration: The wait continues for candidates awaiting the start of the registration process for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2027. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras has not yet been able to commence registration for GATE 2027. After the registration start date was postponed twice, candidates are now waiting for the announcement of a new date. It is anticipated that IIT Madras may soon launch the application process for GATE 2027. The revised registration dates are expected to be released on the official website in the coming days.

According to the previously released schedule, the GATE 2027 application process was slated to begin on August 14, 2026. However, this was rescheduled to August 27, 2026. Yet, registration did not commence on August 27 either. Candidates are awaiting the start of the GATE 2027 registration process, which has already been postponed twice. The revised dates for the registration process will soon be available on the official website.

When will GATE 2027 registration begin?

According to the schedule available on the official website, the deadline for students to submit GATE 2027 applications is September 27, 2026. Given that the conducting body typically allows students at least one month to register for the entrance exam, the GATE 2027 registration process will likely begin sometime in the first week of September 2026. It should also be noted that IIT Madras has not provided an official reason for the delay in opening the GATE 2027 registration portal.
