GATE 2027 Correction Window Opens Until November 14

Chennai, November 11: Engineering graduates aspiring to pursue M.Tech from prestigious institutions like IITs and NITs or secure excellent government jobs in public sector undertakings (PSUs) have an important update. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras has opened the correction window for the GATE 2027 examination application form. Candidates who have already successfully applied for the GATE 2027 exam and found errors in their forms related to name, date of birth, exam city, or paper code can now rectify these mistakes.

Correction Window Details

According to the instructions issued by IIT Madras, this correction window will remain active from November 10 to November 14, 2026.

What Information Can Be Corrected?

As per IIT Madras, candidates can request changes to specific and limited details in their registration application data:

• Personal Information: Candidates can request corrections to their name and date of birth (DoB).
• Category and Status: Changes can be made to caste category (category), SC/ST-related information, PwD status, and nationality.
• Exam-related Information: Changes to the selected exam city and chosen GATE paper/subject are also possible.

It is crucial to note that this facility is not for new registrations but is provided solely for previously registered candidates to correct errors in their forms.

Correction Fee

To make changes to the application form, candidates must pay the prescribed fee:

• General Change Fee: Candidates will need to pay ₹500 for changes in each paper.
• Special Change (Category/Gender Change): If a candidate makes a change in their category or gender that results in the loss of the initial fee concession, they will have to pay ₹1,500.

Simply paying the fee does not guarantee changes; the new documents uploaded will be verified by the respective zonal office. Only after final approval from the zonal officials will the application be considered amended.
