GATE 2026 Metallurgical Engineering Question Paper with Solution PDF

Updated on - Feb 15, 2026

The GATE 2026 Metallurgical Engineering (MT) Question Paper with Solution PDF is available here following the conclusion of the exam. The GATE MT paper was scheduled for February 14, 2026, in the Afternoon Session (AN) from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM.

Based on previous years' trends, the GATE MT paper is generally expected to be of moderate difficulty. Candidates aiming for admissions to top IITs or recruitment by major PSUs like SAIL, NALCO, or IOCL should target a score between 55–65+ marks. Attempting 50 to 60 questions with 85–90% accuracy is typically considered a safe and competitive range.
