Yes, GATE 2026 allows candidates to appear in upto two papers, provided the paper combination (as per the prescribed combinations issued by the authorities). The list of the permitted combinations will be made available on the GATE's official website and information brochure. Candidates must select both the papers carefully during GATE 2026 registration and pay additional fee. Make sure to check the GATE paper codes before adding them. Adding two papers in GATE helps students to expand their chances across multiple disciplines.
