📝 How to Apply for GATE 2027
Candidates should visit the official GATE 2027 portal and access GOAPS. Indian nationals must use DigiLocker for new GATE 2027 registration. Applicants should complete their details carefully, upload the required documents, select their paper and examination preferences, pay the applicable fee and submit the application.
IIT Madras has also advised candidates not to delete the verified or unverified DigiLocker account used for their application, because future GATE 2027 communication will be associated with that account. GATE 2027
💰 GATE 2027 Late Fee Deadline
Candidates who fail to submit their application by September 27 can still register during the extended window through October 5, 2026, with an additional late fee.
Careers360 reports that the additional late fee is ₹500. For general-category male candidates, it lists the regular application fee as ₹2,000 per paper.
Applying during the regular window can therefore help eligible candidates avoid the additional charge.
