Since the GOAPS website was down, facing some technical issues for the past few days, the GATE authorities have decided to extend the closing date of the GATE 2019 application form process without any late fee till today i.e September 22, 2018. This is the last chance given by the authorities to all the interested candidates to complete and submit their filled up online applications along with the fees for GATE 2019 exam.
Candidates who wish to apply in the extended period can do so, between September 23, 2018, to October 1, 2018, by paying off the increased amount of application fee which is Rs.500/- extra. The GATE authorities have made it clear that there is only one official website i.e www.appsgate.iitm.ac.in (GOAPS) to submit the GATE 2019 applications.
