What happens if I mistakenly choose the wrong GATE 2026 paper code during registration?

<p>When you apply to GATE 2026, and you make a wrong selection of paper code, then you have a time frame to rectify the mistake, and the rectification occurs in the official application correction period. Once you have submitted your first application, IIT (the organizing institute) would provide the correction period, typically a couple of weeks after registration is complete, and attend to a log in to GATE Online Application Processing System &#40;GOAPS&#41; and make edits on your selected paper code.<br><br>The way the error can be corrected is as follows:<br><br>Attention: During correction period, log in to GOAPS with your Enrollment ID and password.<br><br>Choose the option of editing the application.<br><br>Change your GATE paper code as one of your choice (you can change the other allowed details also according to the instructions).<br><br>Pay the necessary correction amount which is approximately 500 rupees (changes of the code flag in the paper ) it would be given in the portal.<br><br>Important notes:<br><br>It is only during the window when correction can be made. After this window is closed, you would not be able to do any other changes to your selected paper code.<br><br>Be sure you find the appropriate paper code depending on the major you expect to complete at the time of submission of the correction.<br><br>So, when you lose the window or fail to make the correction, you will be forced to appear in the exam on basis of the paper code that you had initially chosen and which may not jive with your admission or career interests.<br><br>Now then, when you notice that you have entered the incorrect code of paper, then you have to do some quick analysis during the correction time and correct your mistake without any kind of complications in your GATE 2026 test and future admissions</p>

<p>If in case a candidate has mistakenly chosen a wrong GATE paper code then can do the following -</p><ul><li>Edit/modify it when the form correction window opens by paying a certain amount of fee.</li><li>However, if not corrected within the given time, they have to appear for the same paper, <strong>&nbsp;</strong>which might not align with their academic background or career goals. This can affect in the qualifying chances and future admissions or job opportunities.</li></ul><p>If not, students can fill out a new GATE application form using a new email ID and contact details. Therefore, it is important to go through the paper codes carefully before submitting the application form.&nbsp;</p>
