Hey Priyaanka,Thank you for confirmation, I just have a quick question and I guess you'll be able to help me out with that as well.As per your example, let's say my results are announced in May 2016 that means, I'll be eligible for apply for 2016, 2017 and 2018, Right?? Or Is it like the current year is skipped and I cannot apply for 2016 and I'm eligible to apply for 2017,2018 and 2019?The reason I'm asking is that, I'm a 2016 graduate and cracked GATE in 2016 and I'm not sure If I can apply in 2019 or not as the application eligibilty says 3 years and I'm not sure if 2016 is included in it or not.I just needed a confirmation about this. I hope you'll be able to help me out of this.Thanks Again :)

It is valid for 3 years from the year that you wrote in. So you wrote it in 2016, 2016-2017 is 1 year, 2017-2018 is 2nd year and 2018-2019 is 3rd year
