Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, has introduced additional two-paper combinations for Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2024, supplementing the previously announced options. Applicants who have registered for the exam have the opportunity to either add a new second paper or modify their existing choice. This option is available during both the regular and extended registration periods, and candidates can make these changes until November 17. The modifications can be made on the official website at gate2024.iisc.ac.in or goaps.iisc.ac.in.
Those who initially registered for a single paper have the option to include a second paper at the standard application fee. For those who have already registered for two papers, they can modify the second paper without incurring any additional charges.
