Hello Pavithra

I am sure you know that from next year the Candidates will have the option to appear for not just 1 but 2 papers in GATE 2021 if they want.However the second paper has to be from the given set of combinations (which will be released soon). You can give gate exam in chemistry itself or go interdisciplinary and write it for some other subject like pharmacy or life science (there is no restriction in going interdisciplinary). You just have to check the eligibility first. All the best.
