Attention all future engineers and tech wizards! The long-awaited GATE 2026 registration doors have just swung wide open from August 28, 2025, thanks to the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati. The big, bold link is live right now on the official website – gate2026.iitg.ac.in. Ready to grab your chance to shine on a national stage? The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2026 will light up exam halls on February 7, 8, 14, and 15, 2026. Here’s the juicy scoop on the exam timing: it's a computer-based test (CBT) happening in two exciting shifts each day! You get to choose between the forenoon slot from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM or the afternoon slot from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Plus, these test centers aren’t just in India – they’re spread out across various spots abroad too! Now, the clock is ticking for those who want to dodge the late fee. You have until September 28, 2025, to register without paying an extra ₹500. If you miss that, no worries, a late registration option is open until October 9, 2025, but with that pesky fee. Want in? Follow this easy-peasy guide: 1. Zip over to gate2026.iitg.ac.in and look for the ‘GATE 2026 Registration’ link. 2. Create your account to get your enrollment ID and password. 3. Log in and fill in your details – keep them honest and correct! 4. Upload your photo, signature, and if you have one, a category certificate in the right format. 5. Pay the application fee online via debit/credit card, net banking, or UPI. 6. Double-check your form, then hit that final submission button. And hey, you can pick from approved two-paper combos, with extra combos possibly added later if logistics allow. Pro tip: Don’t wait till the last minute! The website may get crowded or face glitches, so beat the rush and apply early. Keep an eye on the official portal for any updates or changes. Ready to take the leap?
