Rounds 1-4 will have the option of (i) Accept & Freeze (ii) Retain and Wait (iii) Reject & Wait. However, candidates will not be able to choose ‘Retain and Wait’ more than twice on a specific offer. Round 5 is a ‘Decisive Round’, therefore the candidates will have only ‘Accept and Freeze’ and ‘Reject’ options to select.

The scorecard of the GATE exam is only released for qualified candidates and is valid for three years from the date of issuance. It contains crucial details like GATE score out of 100, GATE score, all India rank, qualifying marks and more. This often confuses the students. Admission in IITs, NITs, and CFTIs is granted based on the rank. However, to decide the rank, the scores and the cut-off are required.
