GATE 2018 online application process has already started. Interested candidates may apply through the GOAPS website. Check out this guide for schedule of GATE. Check out this guide for GATE preparation tips. As part of online form-filling, candidates are asked to enter personal details, choice of GATE paper, upload photo, upload signature specimen, examination city etc. Once the details are filled and submitted, the admit card will be generated on the basis of data entered by the candidate. The examination center chosen by the candidate will get preference while exam center is allotted to him/her. Sometimes, there arises a need among candidates to change the examination city. Some of the common reasons are – finding an examination city closer to one’s home, inconvenience in traveling to the chosen examination city or other personal reasons. In such cases, it is possible to request the authorities to change the examination center. But the request has to be made before a specified date and the candidate must pay an additional fee for it.
