1. Frequently asked questions
1.I filled my form and completed the form. I have made some errors. What do I do?
You may send your request for correction by email to gate@iitk.ac.in. Please quote your reference number and application number clearly in the mail. Please note that all such request must be made on or prior to October 28, 2009 for corrections. Any request made after this date will be rejected.
2.I filled my form and successfully paid the application fee through online payment gateway (once or several times). However this is not showing in the application status. What do I do?
Sometimes in rare cases due to the failures at the payment gateway, we are unable to get the payment information in right time. If your payment is made successfully, we will be doing a manual reconciling of payments and shall credit to your application. You will be able to see this correctly on the application status within one week. You are still advised to contact us through email to gate@iitk.ac.in. If you have done multiple successful payments for a single reference number, all but one payment will be refunded to you through your card after the payments are reconciled manually. If you made multiple successful payments to different reference numbers, they will be treated as duplicate applications. All such duplicate applications shall be rejected and only one application shall be accepted but NO REFUND of the application fee will be made.
