GATE 2027 requires six exam-city choices from the same zone. City allotment is scheduled for 4 January 2027. The official list groups the exam cities by zone; the exact venue appears on the admit card.
GATE 2027 Exam City Selection
| Choice | 2027 requirement |
|---|---|
| Number of preferences | Six cities |
| Zone | All six choices must be within the same GATE zone |
| Final allotment | A preferred city is not guaranteed; allotment may be outside the preferences |
| Overseas centre | No overseas examination centre; candidates must take the test in India |
Choose the six cities in preference order. A zone is administered by a coordinating institute; it is not necessarily one state. The city list is tentative, and the organising institute can change centres or allot another city.

City Allotment and Admit Card
Exam-city allotment is scheduled for 4 January 2027. This tells you the allotted city. The exact examination venue, paper-specific date and reporting instructions belong to the GATE admit card; its release date has not been announced.
Two papers can have separate reporting requirements. Read each applicable admit-card entry rather than assuming that the first paper's venue and time also apply to the second.
Changing a City Preference
Scrutiny-defect correction is open until 31 October 2026. City changes are subject to the permitted correction facility and applicable payment. Changing a preference is not a guarantee of that city. Once the admit card is issued, a change of city or centre is not permitted.
International Candidates
GATE 2027 is conducted in India. Foreign nationals need to select Indian examination cities and arrange travel accordingly. The accepted identity document must match the application; the current instructions allow a passport or another valid government photo ID such as a driving licence for foreign nationals.
GATE Exam Centers FAQs
Can I choose cities from two different zones?+
No. All six preferences must be from the same zone. Check the coordinating-institute grouping rather than choosing cities solely by state.
Does the first preference guarantee my centre?+
No. GATE can allot a different city, including one outside the preferences. The city list itself is tentative.
Is the city allotment notice my admit card?+
No. A city notice identifies the city, not the complete venue and reporting instructions. You still need the admit card.
Can I take GATE 2027 abroad?+
No. The 2027 examination centres are in India. International candidates must travel to their allotted Indian centre.
