GATE 2021: The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has extended the last date to fill applications for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2021 till October 14, 5 pm. The applications were to conclude on October 12. Those who have not yet applied can do so at gate.iitb.ac.in. However, a late fee of Rs 500 will be applicable, as per rules.
GATE 2021 will be held from February 5 to 7 and February 12 to 14. Those who clear the exam will be eligible to seek admissions across IITs at MTech courses. Further, successful candidates will be eligible to apply for jobs at PSUs. The dual purpose of the exam has often lead students to leave seats at IITs for jobs. As reported by indianexpress.com earlier, about every year 15-20 per cent of MTech seats across IITs go vacant as the PSUs and IITs fail to sync.
