IIT Madras, the organising institute for GATE 2027, has kept the registration portal active with a special late-fee window. Due to multiple requests from candidates, the online application form has been reopened from 15 October 2026 (10:30 AM) to 16 October 2026 (10:29 AM) at the official website gate2027.iitm.ac.in.
Candidates who could not complete their application earlier can still register and pay the late fee during this short window. After this special period ends, the regular registration will finally close.
The application correction (rectification) window was originally scheduled from 14 to 21 October 2026. However, because of the last-minute reopening of registration, IIT Madras is expected to announce revised correction dates soon. Candidates are advised to keep checking the official portal for the updated rectification schedule.
Once the correction window opens, already registered candidates can log in to the GOAPS portal using their Enrolment ID and password and edit permitted details such as name, date of birth, gender, category, PwD status, exam paper, exam cities, and address. Some changes may attract a fee.
Important remaining dates (as of now):
- City allotment notification – 4 January 2027
- Exam dates – 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21 February 2027
- Result – 19 March 2027
How to apply or correct:
Visit gate2027.iitm.ac.in → Log in to GOAPS → Complete registration or make allowed changes → Pay fee if required → Submit and download the confirmation.
Only use the official website. The correction facility is a one-time chance, so double-check every detail carefully. Keep watching the portal for the revised rectification dates.
