The registration deadline for Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE), which was supposed to end today, was extended by two more days to September 26.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, IIT Delhi, the organiser of this year’s exam said, the registration period was extended “because of heavy traffic load in the GATE application portal”.
“The last date of application with normal fees has been extended up to September 26,” it added.
Some reports suggested that the portal had become unresponsive since Monday night and encountered technical problems. This prompted the organisers to extend the date.
The online application window of GATE registration 2020 was opened on September 3.
Candidates can enter http://gate.iitd.ac.in/ and click on the link at the top of the home page.
The exams will be conducted on February 1,2,8 and 9 and the results will be announced on March 16.
The exam would purely be computer-based and the GATE 2020 scores will be valid for three years.
Qualifying in GATE is a mandatory requirement for seeking admission or financial assistance to the master’s programme support by the Human Resource Development Ministry and other government organisations.
