Information on ORS Display

An automated scanning method is used for processing the ORS. Sufficient care has been taken to eliminate errors during the scanning process. If there is a difference between the bubbled option in the ORS and the response collected by the scanner, the candidate can make a request to recheck the ORS.

For GATE 2012 OFFLINE examination, the images of ORS and the responses collected by the scanner for each question can be seen by the candidates on the respective GATE websites between 1^st March 2012 (10:00 hrs) and 5^th March, 2012 (18:00 hrs).

To see the ORS image and the responses collected by the scanner, the candidate needs to enter (i) the registration number and (ii) the date of birth. After entering the above information, the OFFLINE exam candidates can download the files for the image of their ORS and the responses collected by the scanner for each question.

Request for Rechecking:

Requests for rechecking the ORS will be considered only for the discrepancies related to the responses for the bubbles filled by the candidate using the correct method for bubbling as given in the ORS.

Note that (1) more than one bubble filled is considered as a multiple response and (2) any bubble filled and crossed is considered as a filled bubble. No requests will be entertained for rechecking the ORS for these cases and also for wrong methods of bubbling such as given in the ORS.

Any request for rechecking of the ORS must be made on the respective zonal GATE websites. No other modes of communication for making requests for rechecking will be accepted.

Requests for rechecking of the ORS can be made on the respective GATE websites strictly between 1^st March 2012 (10:00 hrs) and 5^th March, 2012 (18:00 hrs). After 5^th March, 2012, no requests for rechecking of ORS will be entertained.

Fee for Rechecking:

A non-refundable processing fee of 1000 for rechecking the ORS is to be paid in the form of a Demand Draft. To make a request for rechecking on the GATE website, you need to enter the DD number. Therefore, get the DD prepared first before trying to make the request on the GATE website. The processing fee for rechecking of the ORS will not be refunded even if the discrepancies are resolved by the GATE Committee in favor of the candidate.

Depending on the Examination City of the candidate, see columns 1 and 2 in the table below for the details related to the making of the demand draft (DD). The name of the candidate and GATE registration number of the candidate should be written on the backside of the DD. The DD should be sent to the office (Address is given in the Column 3 in the Table below) of the Zonal Chairman of the Examination City of the candidate by SPEED-POST only. No other mode of postal communication will be accepted. Both the DD and the postal mark on the envelope should be dated on or before 5^th March 2012. Your request will not be entertained otherwise.
