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
