    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.
