GATE 2027 Registration Postponed Again, IIT Madras Says Applications to Start Soon IIT Madras has once again delayed the opening of GATE 2027 registration, with the GOAPS link remaining inactive. The registration process was initially scheduled to begin on August 14 but was postponed to August 27. Despite the revised date, the official GATE 2027 website now displays the opening date as “TBA” (To Be Announced) and states that online registration will “start soon” without specifying a new exact date. This marks another delay in the application schedule, following previous postponements. The institute had previously announced that the online application process would commence on August 27, but the registration window did not open as planned. Candidates are now advised to monitor the official GATE 2027 website for updates on the revised registration date and further instructions. The latest update highlights ongoing uncertainties in the timeline, leaving applicants in limbo as they await clarity on when they can begin submitting their applications. IIT Madras has also revised the deadlines for GATE 2027 applications. The last date for regular registration without a late fee is now September 27, 2026. Candidates who miss this deadline can still submit applications with a late fee until October 5, 2026. Additionally, the application rectification window, during which candidates can make corrections to their forms, is scheduled to open on October 14 and close on October 21, 2026. These adjustments aim to provide applicants with more time to prepare their submissions while accommodating the delayed start date. A new requirement for GATE 2027 is the mandatory use of DigiLocker-based verification for all Indian nationals.#digilocker #iit_madras #gate_2027 #robotics_automation #public_sector_undertakings

GATE 2027 Registration Process Delayed; Candidates Urged to Prepare Documents The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras has announced that the registration process for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2027 will begin soon, though the exact dates remain unspecified. The application window, originally scheduled to open on August 27, was postponed without a revised timeline being released. This marks the second time the institute has delayed the registration process, with the initial planned start date pushed from August 14 to August 27 and now indefinitely postponed. Candidates are advised to monitor the official GATE 2027 portal for updates as the new dates are expected to be announced shortly. A significant change in the registration process for this exam cycle is the requirement for Indian applicants to register through DigiLocker, a digital document management platform. IIT Madras has emphasized that candidates must create or update their DigiLocker accounts prior to the registration window opening. This shift from the traditional online portal method aims to streamline the application process and ensure secure submission of required documents. Candidates preparing for GATE 2027 are instructed to compile a list of necessary documents to submit during registration. These include scanned copies of SC/ST certificates, UDID/PwD certificates, Dyslexic certificates, and any relevant annexures or certificates for compensatory time and scribe arrangements, if applicable. The institute has clarified that these documents must be uploaded in digital format to facilitate the application process. The application fees for GATE 2027 vary depending on the candidate's category.#digi_locker #iit_madras #gate_2027 #sc_st_certificate #udid_pwD_certificate

CBSE Ropes In IIT Experts, 4 PSBs To Fix Payment Portal After Class 12 Fee Glitch Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday directed technical experts from IIT Madras and IIT Kanpur, along with four public sector banks, to overhaul the Central Board of Secondary Education’s (CBSE) payment gateway following a technical failure that caused incorrect fee deductions for Class 12 students applying for scanned copies of their evaluated answer books. The crisis emerged after portal errors on May 21 and 22, during which students were either overcharged or charged less than the applicable fee. CBSE controller of examinations Dr Sanyam Bhardwaj announced that excess amounts would be refunded through the same payment method used during the application process, while undercharged students would be informed separately about required balance payments. Scanned copies would be provided to all affected students without requiring fresh requests. Pradhan emphasized that student interests remained paramount and ordered CBSE to prioritize corrective measures to ensure a transparent and efficient system. The education ministry stated that the coordinated effort with the finance ministry and the four banks—State Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, and Indian Bank—was expected to enhance digital transaction security, improve gateway stability, and streamline post-result services for students. The expert teams were tasked with assessing portal stability, server performance, and IT infrastructure, while addressing login authentication, user access systems, and payment gateway vulnerabilities. The incident highlighted the need for a complete overhaul of CBSE’s payment gateway system, as the scale of the disruption became apparent.#bank_of_baroda #cbse #state_bank_of_india #iit_madras #iit_kanpur
