GATE Result 2026 has been declared on 19 March 2026, allowing candidates who appeared for the exam to check their scores online.

Candidates can access their results through the GOAPS portal by logging in with their Enrollment ID or registered email ID and password. The GATE exam, conducted in February 2026, was crucial for engineering graduates seeking admission to postgraduate programs and recruitment opportunities in Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).

The GATE 2026 answer key and response sheet were released on 22 February 2026, providing candidates with preliminary insights into their performance. The official scorecard and cut-off marks will also be released on the portal following the result announcement.

The GATE score remains valid for three years for M.Tech admissions in IITs, NITs, and other colleges, while for most PSU recruitments, the score is typically valid for only one year.

Approximately 6.5 lakh candidates appeared for GATE 2025, with about 18 percent qualifying. For GATE 2026, expected cut-off marks for PSUs range from 65 to 80+, with ranks required for top PSU jobs between 100 and 1000. Top PSUs are anticipated to offer packages ranging from 12 to 20 LPA.

For candidates looking to estimate their expected rank and normalized score, the Physics Wallah (PW) GATE Rank Predictor Tool is available. An unofficial toppers list has also been released based on estimates from this tool.
