From October 14 to 21, the GATE 2027 rectification window will let applicants fix high‑stakes errors. IIT Madras lists the week on its official schedule, and demand will be heavy. Expect many to correct photos, category, city, or paper. Some changes can attract extra charges, so plan edits before paying.
Log in to the GOAPS portal during the window and review your application line by line. After generating the PDF, edits are blocked except via this scheduled facility, so track status and alerts carefully. Complete all fixes within the dates; late requests will not be entertained.
What opens in the GATE 2027 correction window
The Information Brochure permits edits to select personal details like name spelling and gender, category or EWS status, examination city, and even paper choice, with image re‑uploads for photo and signature. Date of birth comes from DigiLocker and is not editable in application; resolve profile errors there first, then sync.
GATE 2027 form correction: fees and payment cautions
Baseline fees remain as published; altering category or paper may prompt an additional charge. If you add a second paper, the system may seek the applicable fee difference. Fees are non‑refundable; only duplicate transactions get refunds. Use one device, avoid multiple clicks, and wait for the receipt update.
GATE 2027 photo, signature and document rules
Upload a color passport photo on a white background, face covering 60–70 percent. JPEG/JPG between 200×260 and 530×690 pixels, 5–600 kB. Signature must be black or dark blue, 250×80 to 580×180 pixels, 3–300 kB. Non‑compliant images risk rejection without fee refund, so check samples before saving.
Fixing DigiLocker or Aadhaar mismatches for GATE 2027
Do not delete your DigiLocker account after applying; all communication links to it. If data mismatches appear, complete e‑KYC in DigiLocker, then retry. The scorecard name mirrors the DigiLocker name, so correct formatting there. Aadhaar’s old or blurred photo is ignored; live capture and uploaded photo are used.
GATE 2027 post-correction timeline and key dates
