IIT Kharagpur is expected to release the GATE 2022 admit card on January 03, 2022. However, looking at the past year data, it is expected that admit card can also be released one day prior, i.e on January 2, 2021. In 2018, the due date for the release of the admit card was January 4. However, authorities released it a day before. The same happened in the year 2020.
