When asked about it, the official said the exam “may or may not” be postponed and a decision, when taken, will be communicated to the candidates through an official notification.
As per the official schedule, the test is scheduled for February 5 to 13, 2022. The admit card was scheduled to be released on January 3 but it was postponed till January 7.
On January 7, IIT Kharagpur said that the “date of downloading GATE 2022 admit cards will be announced shortly.” The new date has been announced yet.
Meanwhile, GATE 2022 candidates are saying on social media that this delay has created confusion and has become a reason of anxiety for them.
If the exam will be postponed, the institute should announce it at the earliest and if it will be conducted as per schedule, admit cards should be released, they said.

I don't wanna exams to be postponed either, but the stand should be clear, the suspense isn't good for me as well as you if you are a aspirant, please release the admit card if the paper is as planned. @IITKgp .#gate2022 @gate2022iitkgp
