Application Status: 'Under Scrutiny'
"If the status of your application is "Under Scrutiny", you need not worry. Wait till the scrutiny team processes your application," said an update from the GATE 2018 website.
The update also said that "only those GATE 2018 candidates whose applications need to be rectified in photo/signature/supporting documents, will be contacted by email and SMS."
"The scrutiny process will continue even after the application portal is closed," said the update.
Relaxation in verification of mobile number and e-mail address
In another update, the organizers said that mandatory verification of mobile number and e-mail address is now relaxed.
"Due to last minute rush, the mandatory verification of email and mobile number (before submitting the GATE application form) is relaxed. You will be able to submit the application form now without verifying the email address and mobile number. Also make the payment before due date. However, you need to verify the email and mobile number later by login to GOAPS," said the update from GATE 2018 official portal.
