The GATE rules decide eligibility as much as the degree does: • A GATE score is valid for three years, so only GATE 2024, 2025 and 2026 score cards are accepted. • The score is valid only if the candidate's GATE marks are at or above the qualifying mark for their category printed on the score card. The advertisement's own example: an SEBC candidate with 32.5 marks against an OBC-NCL qualifying mark of 33.3 is not eligible, score card or not. • Only the QR-coded GATE score card is accepted; a GATE mark sheet is not. • A candidate with score cards from more than one year uploads one, and is considered only on that one. • An affidavit in the format at Annexure-I, affirming the score card is genuine, must be submitted. Forgery is treated as a criminal offence and leads to debarment. • OPSC may ask candidates to log in to the GATE portal during verification, so keep the GATE enrolment ID, email and password.
