With under 48 hours left, the GATE 2027 application correction window closes on Saturday, November 14, 2026 (IST). Use the GOAPS login to edit key fields, else you risk wrong centres or rejections. The portal lists the date, not a time; finish by 11:59 pm IST to avoid last‑minute lockouts.
Know the difference between two tracks. Paid “application data correction” runs till November 14. Separate “scrutiny defect rectification” for portal‑flagged issues remains open, without fee, till November 30. Keep updated certificates ready, re‑check your DigiLocker details, and always download the revised application and payment receipt after each change.
GATE 2027 application correction: deadline and where to edit
All permitted edits are through the GOAPS portal on gate2027.iitm.ac.in. Typical candidate‑requested changes close on November 14, 2026, while defect rectification, if you receive an official intimation, continues till November 30. Plan your edits early, because payment gateway delays and document re‑uploads can consume precious time.
Editable fields and fees for GATE 2027 correction
You may correct name, date of birth, gender, category, PwD status, correspondence and college details, exam‑city preferences, and the existing test paper. Most edits attract a per‑paper fee. Some gender or category changes that remove a concession cost more. Email and mobile number are generally not editable through this window.
| Change | Typical fee (per paper) |
|---|---|
| Name or Date of Birth | ₹500 |
| Exam‑city preferences | ₹500 |
| Existing GATE paper | ₹500 |
| Gender/Category change removing concession | ₹1,500 for non‑concession candidates |
Photo, signature and ID mismatch: quick checklist
Low‑quality images and ID mismatches drive most rejections. Use a recent colour photo on a plain white background; face should cover about two‑thirds, no shadows or glare. Sign in dark blue or black on a light background. Ensure the ID number and name exactly match your DigiLocker profile and uploaded proofs.
What’s next after correction: city allocation, admit card and dates
City allocation is scheduled for January 4, 2027, as per the official calendar. Admit card download is listed as “to be announced.” Exams are planned across six days in February 2027. After submitting changes, monitor your dashboard and email; unresolved defects can block city allocation or delay admit card release.
