With the continuous increase in the Covid-19 cases, the uncertainty around the conduct of the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2022 is increasing. Since the GATE admit card has been postponed twice, many candidates are concerned if this would hint at the postponement of the examination. Till now there has been no official update regarding the examination. Rattled by this uncertainty, aspirants across the country have taken to Twitter to ask the administering body, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, for a decision on GATE 2022 exam.
Raising their worries about the rising cases, while a few candidates have demanded postponed of the exam, many have also asked the institute to reopen the application window to allow them to change the GATE 2022 exam cities.

There should always be a 1 month window between admit card release and exam dates. Current wave is massive and if need be postpone the exam but give us a date when we are expected to hear some news. @IITKgp #Gate2022— Sameer (@zenith_sue) January 14, 2022
I called the gate helpline and the guy responded that admit cards will be released on Monday and exam will take place on the specified date. Is it true @IITKgp ? If yes, then why are you not updating this info on the website. #Gate2022— Sanket Dixit ???????? (@SanketDixit13) January 14, 2022
#Gate2022 #iitkgpplease come to conclusion quick, either release admit cards or postpone the exam. Dont play with thestudent’s emotions.— YASH RATHORE (@YASHRAT61029741) January 14, 2022
@IITKgp didn’t expect such irresponsible behaviour from an institute of such stature, with less than 3 weeks left for the exam still there is no official word from @IITKgp regarding dates of #Gate2022 exam, even state govt’s management is better than @IITKgp @EduMinOfIndia— Ayush Jain (@jain_ayush1) January 14, 2022
