I have overwritten my signature in gate application form .would that cause a problem?

yes you will face problem.

signature is a very crucial part in any kind of form and you are talking about GATE!

may b your form will b canceled.

don't worry if that happens, try next year.

dear friend,

You shouldn't made such mistakes in GATE form. You might try whitener to make invisible your previous signature then put the new one.

But i think it will not create any problem for you, if any problem will happen then IIT inform you, so you need not to be panic.

So, i suggest you to without any fear kindly take preparation very carefully.

good luck.

if you have overwritten in the signature on the box then it may create problem. but overwrite in other signature will not create any problem.

but you have overwritten in box's signature then i will suggest you to take print out again and sign on it clearly. then send this fresh application form to the IIT zonal office. as time is very less then go to the office and submit your application directly.

Hi,
I could not say exactly. May be they ll accept because you are sending it and you fill it all the necessary details. By chance, if they dont accept, you can call up and ask them. So dont delay and keep contact your friends who are applying that their admit card came or not.
Lets hope for the best.

Good luck.

Hi,
You should contact immediately the GATE helpcare so that this matter is sorted out at right time, otherwise in future it can create a problem for you. and one thing don't be panic if they do not help.

Hi!
As you know that the application form of GATE will be completely OMR that is fully computerized so if the computer didn't detect your signature then your form will be rejected.
But it totally dependent on the computer,it might accept your signature.
If any problem will occur then the authority will contact you.

hello dear

Signature Overwriting in GATE form,will not be major problem to appear in the gate exam.

still if you are getting fear then you may visit to your near the the gate zonal office.

all the best...............

dear friends,
if you have fill up the application from the online scheme then there was two option for the singnature of the candidates so if you have made a mistakes on the single singnature then youe second singnature will be consider.however please do not worry.the application form will not be cancel they will consider your application form so do not worry.just prepare for the exams.

Dear friend !!

Signature while filling up the form is very much important to do it clearly..

Since oyu have overwritten your signature,,..it may cause some problem..it is advisable to buy a new form...or else use whitener and try to minimise the overwritings with that...

and hope your form doesnot get rejected..

hi friend,

Overwriting any signature is a regarded as a fake identity of the candidate, which in any circumstance, can not accepted by GATE office, however you havent mentioned the mode of applying.
If it is online , then do get a new print of your application form and then resign it, but if it is offline then I think you have to spend another 1000 INR so as to reduce the chance of rejection by GATE committee.

Signature is very crucial part and if you had done some kind of overwritting then you will face problem . If you get your admit card then you will face problem during exam . But there is also a chance for not getting your admit card,

Hello Sir,

Don't worry while in the exam center you just put the sign as like in your application(second one).The invigilator compares both the signatures in your application and OMR sheet.


Eventhough if it seems problem tell him my bother/sister applied for the exam on behalf of me,please allow me sir.

Instead of worried about this just concentrate on the preparation.

ALL THE BEST FRIEND.............

First thing in any competitive exam signature and photograph plays a very vital role in recognizing the candidate very properly and also in GATE there is no difference in that.
As you have overwritten your signature so that may creat a problem and your application may cancelled by the IITM. So its better for you to check whether it has accepted or not by checking your application status.
You can check it in the following link :- http://www.gate.iitb.ac.in/gate2011/appstat.php.
If it found invalid then you can purchase application forms only at Zonal GATE offices till 5PM on 29.10.2010 as online application is now closed.

could not say exactly. May be they ll accept because you are sending it and you fill it all the necessary details. By chance, if they dont accept, you can call up and ask them. So dont delay and keep contact your friends who are applying that their admit card came or not.
Lets hope for the best.

Good luck

Will it create any issues in getting me the admit card with proper signature or appearing for GATE exam? Please suggest.
