GATE 2027 answer-key and challenge dates are not announced. Use the matching official key and candidate responses to estimate raw marks after release. Provisional answers can change; final evaluation uses the organiser's accepted answers.
| Key | Use |
|---|---|
| Provisional official key | Compare responses and identify a supported challenge |
| Final official key | Evaluation after challenge decisions |
| Coaching solution | Unofficial explanation, not an official accepted answer |
| Match this | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Year and paper code | A similarly named older paper is not the current key |
| Session / paper version | Questions and option orders can differ |
| Question identifier | Match the same master question, not just a remembered screen position |
| Question type and marks | MCQ penalties differ; MSQ/NAT have no negative marking |
| Official answer or accepted numerical range | Use the key's exact set or interval rather than a single coaching answer |
| Evidence | Include |
|---|---|
| Question identity | Paper code, session and exact question identifier |
| Disputed answer | Published key and the specific proposed correction |
| Technical explanation | Derivation, counterexample or calculation showing why the key is disputed |
| Supporting reference | Relevant textbook edition, page or authoritative source, not only a coaching opinion |
| Submission proof | Portal acknowledgement and required payment record |
| Question | Correct | Incorrect | Blank |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-mark MCQ | 1 | -1/3 | 0 |
| 2-mark MCQ | 2 | -2/3 | 0 |
| MSQ | 1 or 2, for the exact correct set | 0; no partial credit | 0 |
| NAT | 1 or 2, for an accepted numerical answer | 0 | 0 |
| Illustrative answers | Calculation | Raw marks |
|---|---|---|
| 12 correct and 3 wrong one-mark MCQs | 12 - 3/3 | 11 |
| 15 correct and 3 wrong two-mark MCQs | 30 - 6/3 | 28 |
| 4 correct two-mark MSQs | 4 x 2 | 8 |
| 6 correct two-mark NATs | 6 x 2 | 12 |
| Total | 11 + 28 + 8 + 12 | 59 / 100 |
A different coaching answer can prompt a recheck, but it is not sufficient proof by itself. Identify the exact question and support the proposed correction with a derivation or authoritative reference through the notified process.
Yes. Select the entire correct set shown by the key. GATE awards no partial credit for an incomplete set.
Use the accepted value or range in the official key and the precision requested by the question. A worked solution's extra decimal places do not by themselves define the accepted interval.
No. The year, paper and session must match the questions attempted. Older keys belong only to their dated papers.
It is a raw-marks estimate. The official standardised score uses additional paper-level benchmarks and, for multi-session papers, normalised marks.
