The key examination will be conducted on February 5, 6, 12 and 13 by IIT-Kharagpur which is the organising institute for GATE-2022.
This time, two new subject papers will be available to the candidates -- GE (Geomatics Engineering) and NM (Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering), taking the total number of GATE papers to 29.
Meanwhile, the exam-conducting body has also expanded the eligibility criteria to appear for GATE-2022 to include those having BDS and MPharm degrees.
