What role does the GATE admit card play in the identity verification process at the examination center?

The GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) admit card plays a crucial role in the identity verification process at the examination center. Here's how:

1. Personal Identification:

   • The GATE admit card contains essential information about the candidate, including their name, photograph, signature, and GATE registration number. This information serves as a means of personal identification.

2. Exam Details:

   • The admit card provides specific details about the GATE exam, such as the exam date, session, time, and venue. These details ensure that candidates are aware of when and where they need to appear for the exam.

3. Barcode and QR Code:

   • Admit cards often contain barcodes or QR codes that hold encrypted information about the candidate. These codes are scanned during the entry process to verify the authenticity of the admit card.

4. Biometric Verification:

   • Some examination centers may employ biometric verification methods using the fingerprints of candidates. The information on the admit card is cross-verified with the candidate's biometric data to prevent impersonation.

5. Verification Against Photo ID:

   • Candidates are required to carry a valid photo ID (such as Aadhar card, passport, PAN card) along with the printed copy of the GATE admit card. The details on both documents are compared during the verification process.

6. Prevents Unauthorized Entry:

   • Only candidates with a valid GATE admit card are allowed entry into the examination hall. This stringent verification process helps prevent unauthorized individuals from taking the exam on behalf of the registered candidates.

7. Ensures Exam Security:

   • The identity verification process is essential for maintaining the security and integrity of the GATE exam. It ensures that only eligible and registered candidates are allowed to participate.

8. Candidate Accountability:

   • The GATE admit card is a form of accountability for candidates. It confirms their commitment to following the rules and regulations of the exam, and any discrepancy during the identity verification process may lead to disqualification.

Candidates are advised to carefully read and follow the instructions mentioned on the GATE admit card. It is crucial to carry the admit card along with the specified photo ID to the examination center on the day of the exam. Any discrepancy or issues related to the admit card should be promptly addressed to the GATE authorities.
