The GATE 2025 will be held for three hours and consist of 30 test papers, including full and sectoral papers. The portions will include General Aptitude (GA) and the candidate’s chosen subjects. Questions in the candidate’s chosen subjects will be of various forms, such as multiple choice (MCQ), multiple select questions (MSQ), and/or numerical answer type (NAT).
An applicant is allowed to take up to two tests. However, each candidate should submit only one application. If they want to appear for the second paper, they might include it in their original application. The official notice further mentions that if there are several applications, only one will be approved, and the remaining applications will be denied with no refund for the application fees.
As per the marking scheme of GATE, negative markings will be applied to each incorrect answer in the MCQ section. For each incorrect one-mark MCQ, one-third of the mark will be deducted. For a two-mark MCQ, a two-thirds mark deduction will be applicable. There is no negative grading for incorrect answers to MSQ or NAT questions, but candidates will also not get partial marks in MSQs.
The test papers will be administered in English. Each GATE paper carries 100 marks. The General Aptitude (GA) section is common to all papers (15 points), while the remainder of the paper covers the specific test paper syllabus (85 points).
