Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay will close the window to challenge the GATE 2021 answer key today. Candidates can challenge GATE answer keys by logging in to the GOAPS portal through the link available on the GATE official website, gate.iitb.ac.in. Candidates have been asked to submit their objections with detailed description and proof. The answer keys were released on February 26 and the facility to raise objections started on March 2.
GATE final answer keys will be available around March 18 and the result will be announced on March 22.
“Final answer keys will be published around March 18, 2021, after reviewing all challenges by the GATE 2021 committee. If any challenge is accepted by the committee, a full refund will be made to the candidate for the respective accepted challenge, after publication of the final answer keys. However, no refund will be made to the candidate for those challenges which are not accepted,” IIT Bombay had said previously.
Candidates who raise objections will have to pay a fee of Rs 500 per question. The objections will be checked by a committee. Challenges which are considered correct will be rectified in the final answer key and fee will be refunded.
