What is the GATE 2026 Response Sheet?

The GATE 2026 response sheet is a candidate-specific PDF that records the actual answers marked by the candidate during the computer-based test. Each candidate’s response sheet is accessible only via their own GOAPS login at gate2026.iitg.ac.in. The response sheet includes the candidate’s enrollment number, name, subject paper, exam date and session, and the option marked against each of the 65 questions (or marked numerical value in case of NAT questions). When paired with the official GATE 2026 answer key, the response sheet allows candidates to compute an accurate raw score using the GATE marking scheme.
