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.
