• Control Systems & Communications: PID controller included. Information Theory now includes "Source coding".

What’s Modified:

• Differential Equations are restructured into Linear differential equations, Euler-Cauchy equations, and Nonhomogeneous equations.
• Sampling continuous-time signals now strictly focuses on the Nyquist sampling theorem, sampling, and reconstruction.
• Lag, lead, and lag-lead compensation has been broadened to general "compensators".

What’s Removed:

• Discrete-time processing of continuous-time signals has been removed entirely.

Unchanged Sections:

• Digital Circuits and Electromagnetics remain 100% unchanged.

According to IIT Madras, GATE 2027 will be conducted on February 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21, 2027, in multiple sessions for different papers. The examination will be held in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode across centres in India and select international cities.

Candidates qualifying GATE 2027 can use their scores for admission to MTech, ME, MArch, PhD and other postgraduate programmes offered by IITs, NITs, IIITs, IISc and several universities. The GATE score is also accepted by multiple Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) for recruitment. The scorecard remains valid for three years from the date of result declaration.

GATE continues to be one of India's largest postgraduate entrance examinations. In GATE 2025, over 9.36 lakh candidates registered, while approximately 7.47 lakh candidates appeared for the examination. The overall qualifying percentage remained around 23%, highlighting the highly competitive nature of the exam.
