GATE Exam Centres 2023: Zone-wise list of Exam Cities

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.
