        <p class="ma-text">The GATE 2026 MA paper was <strong>Moderate to Difficult</strong>. Many candidates reported that the <strong>NAT (Numerical Answer Type)</strong> questions were particularly time-consuming, while <strong>MSQs (Multiple Select Questions)</strong> in Algebra required deep conceptual elimination strategies. Real Analysis remained conceptual but fair.</p>
