GATE 2026 Exam Date Revised to Avoid UPSC ESE Clash
The GATE 2026 exam, a test for engineering students, is being changed.
The change is to avoid conflicting with another exam called the UPSC ESE.
IIT Guwahati, the group in charge of the GATE exam, is making this adjustment.
The original schedule had some dates overlapping.
Now, they are moving the GATE exam dates to avoid this overlap.
This way, people can take both exams without having to choose.
The exact new dates will be shared soon.

Anyone with a degree in engineering and related fields is eligible.
IIT Guwahati will reschedule GATE 2026 to avoid clashing with UPSC ESE 2026.

The exam is for those with a degree in engineering, technology, architecture, science, commerce, arts, or humanities.
