Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay will release the admit card of GATE 2021 and the exam is scheduled to take place in February. Many students who will appear in the exam have demanded postponement, arguing that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption in their preparations. Students have said that GATE 2021 should be delayed as many national level entrance exams have been postponed and GATE should not be an exception.
The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE), as per the official schedule, will be held on February 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, and 14 in two sessions -- from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm and from 3 pm to 6 pm. Admit cards will be available today at gate.iitb.ac.in. Results will be announced on March 22.

“Every exam of national importance have been postponed or relaxed in some form, what's so different about GATE? Is it not relevant enough? Please postpone GATE 2021 by at least a month or two,” another student said.
