GATE 2021: Pre-examination measures

To avoid crowding at the GATE 2021 exam centres, candidates should reach at least an hour before the exam begins. Students should maintain social distance from each other. They will have to follow the rope queues and floor marks while standing in the queue outside the GATE exam centre. Further, the centre will check the temperature of all the candidates using a Thermo gun at the entry. Candidates having a temperature above 99.4 degrees Fahrenheit will have to sit in the isolation room.

After the candidates enter the exam venue, the invigilators will check their GATE 2021 admit card and photo ID proof by maintaining a safe distance. They will also use Barcode guns to check the GATE admit card 2021 and to provide lab numbers to the candidates.

Candidates can only carry masks, hand gloves, personal hand sanitiser bottle, a simple pen/pencil, personal transparent water bottle and exam related documents (admit card, Id proof) to the GATE 2021 exam centres. After reaching the lab, candidates will have to complete biometric registration.
