Correction Fees and Allowed Changes
Candidates can modify several details in their GATE 2026 application by paying Rs 500 per change. Permitted corrections include name, date of birth, exam city choice, selected paper, and category changes. Changes involving gender or category transitions from female or SC/ST to other categories require Rs 1,500 for general candidates (Rs 500 plus Rs 1,000 additional fee), while SC/ST and PwD candidates pay only Rs 500. Converting from non-PwD to PwD or Dyslexic status follows similar fee structures.
