        <p>GATE 2027, including the BT paper, will be organised by IIT Madras. The official notification and information brochure are not out yet as of July 11, 2026; they are expected in the last week of July 2026. The exam is tentatively scheduled for February 6, 7, 13 and 14, 2027.</p>

        <p>As per the tentative GATE 2027 calendar, the GOAPS application window opens on August 24, 2026, with the regular-fee deadline on September 29, 2026 and a late-fee window until October 13, 2026. Admit cards are expected from January 3, 2027 and results in March 2027.</p>

    <div class="gate-bt-updates-112026-card">
        <p>For benchmarking, IIT Guwahati's official GATE 2026 qualifying cut-off for BT (Biotechnology) was 25.8 marks for General, 23.2 for OBC-NCL/EWS and 17.2 for SC/ST/PwD. GATE 2027 cut-offs are set afresh after the exam and will be published by IIT Madras.</p>

        <p>GATE 2026 results were announced on March 19, 2026 and a GATE score stays valid for three years from the date of announcement of results. So a 2026 BT scorecard remains usable for admissions into March 2029, alongside any GATE 2027 attempt.</p>

    <div class="gate-bt-updates-112026-card">
        <p>No syllabus or pattern revision has been announced for BT; the paper is expected to keep the 65-question, 100-mark, three-hour format with General Aptitude worth 15 marks. Under the two-paper option, BT may be combined with BM (Biomedical Engineering) or XL (Life Sciences). Confirm against the official brochure when released.</p>
