The conduct of GATE exam at all foreign exam centres has been dropped due because of some operational issues. Earlier Ambajogai city in the IIT Bombay zone was also dropped because of operational issues. So those candidates who have opted for Dhaka, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, Male, Port Louis, Singapore and Thimphu as exam centers can either:

  • Withdraw their candidature or
  • Select a centre in India

Let’s say a candidate withdraws his/her candidature, they will be refunded the total amount of the application fee. 

Talking about exam centres in India, Ludhiana is a newly added city in GATE 2023 exam under IIT Roorkee zone.

GATE exam will be conducted in 218 cities across India this year. Candidates must choose the exam centre diligently while filling out the application form. Candidates will be allowed to make changes in exam centre from November 4 to 11 without paying any additional fee. Have a look at the detailed exam centres for GATE 2023 exam.
