Is the GATE 2027 City Intimation Slip the Admit Card?
No. The GATE 2027 City Intimation Slip/allotment notification and the admit card are different.
The city notification tells you where your examination centre is located (exam city). The Admit Card will contain the specific examination centre, date, and reporting time. GATE 2027 has currently listed the admit card download date as TBA.
How to Check GATE 2027 Exam City
Once the city allotment notification is released:
- Visit the official GATE 2027 website.
- Log in through the GOAPS/Application Portal.
- Open the examination city/allotment information.
- Download or save the city notification for future reference.
- Later, download the GATE 2027 Admit Card when it becomes available.
Candidates had to select six examination cities while filling the application. GATE says candidates will most likely receive their first-choice city, but the GATE Committee can allot another selected city or, because of operational constraints, add/remove cities and allot a different city.
Why city intimation slip important?
The city intimation slip is important for the candidates as they can plan their journey on the exam date so that they do not reach at the examination centre at the given time. The GATE 2027 exam guideline instructs you to reach well before the exam time.
