Alerts and Updates for GATE Statistics

GATE 2027 has not been notified yet. IIT Madras is expected to be the organising institute, with the official notification and information brochure anticipated in late July or August 2026. Until that brochure appears on the official GATE portal, every 2027 date in circulation is tentative.

The GOAPS application window for GATE 2027 is expected to open around 24 August 2026, with the regular deadline in late September 2026 and an extended late-fee window running to mid-October 2026. A correction facility is expected in November 2026. None of this is officially confirmed yet.

GATE 2027 is expected on 6, 7, 13 and 14 February 2027 as a three-hour computer-based test in forenoon and afternoon sessions, with admit cards expected in early January 2027 and results in March 2027. These dates are listed as expected, not confirmed by the organising institute.

Statistics (ST) is one of the 30 GATE papers and carries no Engineering Mathematics section: General Aptitude is 15 marks and core Statistics 85 marks, covering Calculus, Matrix Theory, Probability, Stochastic Processes, Estimation, Testing of Hypotheses, Nonparametric Statistics, Multivariate Analysis and Regression Analysis.

No ST syllabus revision has been announced for 2027. Until IIT Madras publishes the 2027 syllabus, the GATE 2026 ST syllabus and previous-year question papers released by IIT Guwahati remain the working reference. Negative marking applies only to MCQs, not to MSQ or NAT questions.
