Provisional candidates are instructed to log in through the GOAPS portal and clear their defects to avoid result withheld," stated IIT Roorkee.
GATE 2025 Answer Key and Results
The GATE 2025 provisional answer key was released on February 27, along with the GATE response sheet. Candidates were allowed to raise objections against the provisional answer key until March 1. After reviewing the objections, subject experts will finalise and release the GATE 2025 final answer key, incorporating any necessary changes.
The GATE 2025 results will be prepared based on the final answer key and are scheduled to be declared on March 19, 2025. Additionally, the GATE 2025 scorecard will be available for download from March 28 to May 31. Candidates can access their scorecards by logging in with their enrollment ID and password. The exam was conducted on February 1, 2, 15, and 16 in two shifts across numerous examination centres, covering 30 test papers.
The GATE exam serves as a gateway to postgraduate programmes at IITs, National Institutes of Technology (NITs), the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), and is also used for Public Sector Undertakings (PSU) recruitment. Candidates are advised to rectify their application defects before the deadline to ensure a smooth result declaration process.
