The GATE 2027 correction window is open. IIT Madras has activated the application correction facility on the GOAPS portal, gate2027.iitm.ac.in, on 10-11-2026. Registered candidates can now fix details in their submitted forms — but the two facilities on offer are not the same, and they close on different dates, so check which one applies to you before the portal locks.

| Window | Who it is for | Fee | Last date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Application correction | Any registered candidate who wants to change paper, city, category or other details | Rs 500 per change | 14-11-2026 |
| Scrutiny defect rectification | Candidates whose forms were flagged defective during scrutiny | Free | 30-11-2026 |
The 30-11-2026 date covers only defects notified during scrutiny — photographs, signatures or identity mismatches, for example. It is not a general free editing period, and it does not automatically let you change your examination paper or city.
Through the correction window you can request changes to your examination paper, examination city, category and other application particulars, subject to the portal's rules. Each change costs Rs 500. Scrutiny defects, by contrast, are fixed free of charge once the authorities notify them. Make every change before 14-11-2026, since the window will not be extended unless IIT Madras announces otherwise.
| Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| Candidate-requested correction (per change) | Rs 500 |
| Rectification of a notified scrutiny defect | Free |
GATE 2027 will be conducted by IIT Madras on 06, 07, 13, 14, 20 and 21-02-2027 across multiple sessions. The exam city allotment releases on 04-01-2027, and the admit card will follow on the GOAPS portal. Finish paid corrections by 14-11-2026 and defect fixes by 30-11-2026 so that a wrong paper or centre does not put your candidature at risk.
The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is the national-level examination for admission to postgraduate engineering and science programmes and for recruitment in several public sector organisations. GATE 2027 is organised by IIT Madras, and applications for this cycle were received through the GOAPS portal.
