Yes, candidates who are non-Indian nationals are eligible to appear for GATE. They must be currently in the 3rd year or higher of their undergraduate degree or have completed a Bachelor's degree of at least 3 years duration in Engineering, Technology, Science, Architecture, or Humanities. However, GATE 2026 will be conducted only in centers within India; therefore, international candidates must travel to India at their own expense to take the test.
