Some Queries and Their Answer

Q1: I' a 2011 B.Tech(IT) passed out. I have applied for gate 2012. My query is that In the instructions they said that if your Qualifying Degree in 2011 You should attach the Copy of Degree Certificate. But we still didn't have our graduation day so we don't have degree certificates as of now.in such case what else we should attach to the application while sending? pls do guide us.


A1 :See as u passed in year 2011 June (most probably) , it is considered that by this time distribution of degree certificate will be over. but as in case of yours , Graduation date is not yet finalised so You can attach the Provisional Degree Certificate. Colleges Provide this certificate for admission in higher education (Master Degree) in other institutes, as final degree will take time to get printed and distributed. 
So You just need to ask your college for Provisional Degree Certificate for applying in GATE 2012 and sending the form to respective IIT.

Q2 :What is the purpose of Certificate from Principal?

I have backlogs in I, V & VI semesters. Will this cause any problem for admission in IITs (especially for direct admission without any interview or written test) ?

A2 :The Certificate From Principal is made for final year student only and to those who had given final year examination i.e. Passing out in 2012  if u clear all your backlogs by then , you will be eligible to attend the counselling and take admission. if u clear all your backlogs by then , you will be eligible to attend the counselling and take admission.

with any backlog in any sem , you will not be eligible for admission, as they will require Degree Certificate during admission process.

but as u will be able to produce your all cleared degree certificate by Sept'12 then there is chance of getting admission. u just need to produce there that you have given paper, and results are awaiting.

Q4:I have applied for GATE 2012 in Production and Industrial Engineering discipline. But i would like to change the discipline to Mechanical Engineering. Is it possible to change the discipline and if so how can i proceed. Or else is there any option of scraping my previous application and send them a fresh application ???  Pls reply me in this regard.

A4 :It is possible to change your discipline but its depends on how much you inside you reached, it means if you are done till filling personal information, academic details and identification details page then you just need to log out and re-login again. Try re-login whenever you feel you went wrong on filling form.

else last option start with a new scratch for a safe side.

Q5 :  I had a mistake while entering my  pincode in my application form. How to correct that error? Please reply as soon as possible

A5 :Pin code error is not a big error , so don't panic on that. If you paid the fees by this time then you will not be able to edit the application form, but if you still in some stage to fill the form, then just go previous and edit the fields you want to edit

As error in pin code is not a big deal , so just relax.

Q6 : i am 2011 pass-out student and have done BE. i want to know that it is compulsory to send Degree certificate with the gate form?

A6 :In case you are not having Degree certificate then you can send a provisional degree certificate.

Actually in some college/university it will take some time to issue degree certificate , so in case of admission for higher education, college/university provide a provisional degree certificate for further admission. you can ask for provisional certificate from your college.
