The GATE 2026 Philosophy paper followed a Moderate difficulty trend. General Aptitude was easy, and the compulsory Reasoning & Comprehension (B1) was balanced. The Philosophy (C4) section was noted for its conceptual depth in Logic and Modern Western Philosophy, while Indian Philosophy questions were largely based on orthodox systems.
The cutoff for Philosophy is typically stable. Based on the 2026 difficulty level, we expect the qualifying marks to be slightly higher than the 2024-25 cycle.
