GATE 2027 Application Correction Window 2026

GATE 2027 Application Correction Window — 10 to 14 November 2026

The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2027, organised by IIT Madras, has opened the paid application data correction window. Registered candidates can correct their application details through the GOAPS portal at gate2027.iitm.ac.in from 10 November to 14 November 2026.

Basis of this post: the official site gate2027.iitm.ac.in could not be read from here — it returned an upstream rate-limit error — and no official PDF copy of the correction notice was located. The facts below rest on the unanimous consensus of seven independent sources (EdexLive, Karmasandhan, NDTV Profit, Economic Times, KollegeApply, Moneycontrol and Shiksha), all quoting the official fee schedule published at gate2027.iitm.ac.in. This is the same secondary-consensus basis used for earlier posts where the official source was inaccessible.

Correction fee

The correction fee is Rs. 500 per paper, non-refundable, for most changes — name, date of birth, examination city choices, existing test paper, and gender or category changes that do not affect fee eligibility. The fee is Rs. 1,500 per paper for changes that remove a fee concession, such as Female to Male, SC/ST to General, or PwD to non-PwD — Rs. 500 correction fee plus Rs. 1,000 fee difference. The fee is paid online. Payment does not guarantee approval: changes apply only after zonal verification and approval of documents. This correction charge is not an application fee, so no fee card is shown for this post.

Do not confuse the two windows

There is a separate free facility for rectification of defects identified during application scrutiny, running from 14 October to 30 November 2026, with no fee. The two windows serve different purposes and must not be confused: the paid window (10 to 14 November 2026) is for corrections you request yourself, while the free facility is for defects the scrutiny process has flagged in your application.

Exam dates

The GATE 2027 examination is scheduled for 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21 February 2027, and the result is expected on 19 March 2027.

How to make corrections

Log in to the GOAPS portal at gate2027.iitm.ac.in with your Enrolment ID and password, make the changes, pay the applicable correction fee online, and submit before the window closes on 14 November 2026.
