    For the first paper, options include AE, AG, AR, BM, BT, CE, CH, CS, CY, DA, EC, EE, ES, EY, GE, GG, IN, and more. For the second paper, combinations include CE, ME, XE, CG, BT, IN, BM, XL, AE, AG, AR, ES, GE, NM, XE, PE, DA, EC, and more.In the GATE Second Paper Concept, the primary paper is related to the applicant's undergraduate engineering disciplines, while the secondary paper allows applicants to apply their knowledge in a related field. For instance, if an aspirant has graduated in electrical engineering, this becomes their primary paper. You can take two GATE Papers in a year but it is important to refer to the official GATE 2

    The GATE Two-Paper combination is a facility that allows candidates to select two subjects instead of one. The two paper combination refers to the primary and secondary paper. The primary paper refers to the specific engineering branch in which the candidate has completed their graduation. On the other hand, the secondary paper is related to the engineering branches that the candidate can choose as their secondary paper. Candidates can find all possible two paper combinations on the official website along with the test paper codes.

Yes, Chandigarh University will strongly consider your profile if you have good B.Tech marks, even if you are not appearing for GATE Exam 2026. Graduation marks are the primary criterion for M.E. admission. If you meet the eligibility requirements for your chosen specialization, you can get direct admission without any issue. GATE is not required for admission, and not appearing for it does not reduce your chances. You may also be eligible for scholarships based on graduation marks or CUCET performance, if you choose to appear for it. Academically strong students are welcomed irrespective of GATE participation.

You are still eligible for M.Tech admission at SIT Pune without GATE score. In this case, you will have to take an entrance test followed by a personal interview round. Based on the combined score of entrance exam and personal interview, you will get admission.

Pursuing an M.E. at Chandigarh University with a GATE Exam 2026 qualification can be beneficial for students aiming for research-oriented paths, including PhD programs. While GATE itself does not guarantee PhD admission, it strengthens a student's academic profile. Fellowship holders gain teaching and research exposure, which can support future doctoral applications. However, students who are not appearing for GATE 2026 can also build strong research profiles through projects, publications, and faculty guidance. GATE is an added advantage, not a requirement, for long-term academic growth.

No, a valid GATE Exam 2026 score is not required at the time of final admission confirmation at Chandigarh University. Admission confirmation depends on eligibility verification, document submission, and fee payment. GATE qualification is optional and relevant only for fellowship consideration. Students who are not appearing for GATE 2026 can complete the entire admission process without submitting a GATE score. Even students who plan to appear for GATE can confirm admission before results are announced. This policy helps students avoid delays and secure their seats early.

No, Chandigarh University does not require a GATE Exam 2026 scorecard at the time of application or admission. Students can apply and secure admission based on graduation marks alone. If you are planning to appear for GATE 2026, you may submit the scorecard later after results are declared, only if you wish to be considered for the fellowship. Students who are not appearing for GATE 2026 do not need to submit any GATE-related documents. This flexible process allows students to complete admissions without waiting for GATE results.
