The GATE Online Applicant Interface will send a few mails to the applicants on important information related to the GATE examination. The login to this interface is through your chosen email address and a password. Keep this information safe and do not disclose the email id and password to anyone.

All users already registered should follow the instructions given below to ensure receipt of future emails. It is necessary that mails sent from this account are not marked as spam by your email service provider.

1. Find out where SPAM (or Junk) messages are stored by your email client (eg, Gmail, Yahoo, Rediff, Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.)
2. Search for messages coming from GATE and find out the non-reply email id.
3. Mark them as “Not Spam” or “Not Junk”.
4. If possible, mark them as Important.

This will ensure that in future, mails from this account will be shown in your INBOX and will not go to the SPAM folder.
