GATE Question Paper 2026 is being compiled and shared shift-wise for all branches based on students’ memory and post-exam feedback. Conducted by IIT Guwahati, the GATE 2026 examination is scheduled on February 7, 8, 14, and 15 in computer-based test (CBT) mode across India.
These memory-based question papers help candidates analyse the overall difficulty level, understand subject-wise weightage, and identify important topics asked in the exam. Aspirants appearing in upcoming shifts can use these papers to fine-tune their exam strategy. Once IIT Guwahati releases the official GATE 2026 question papers, the authentic PDFs will be updated here.
The branch-wise GATE 2026 question papers listed below are memory-based papers prepared from students’ feedback. These are not officially released by the conducting body. Official question papers will be updated here once released.
