Questions related to GATE
I filled Gate application with caste category , say C1, but can I apply for admission cap rounds with another caste C2?
hi,
see gate score would be given as per category wise and you can not change the category once exam would take place and results declare. qualifying score would be different for different category and candidates have to participate in the counselling process on that category only.
hope you may understand.
