Hi there,

As per your query, i want to inform you that you can change your category from GEN to OBC when the correction window opens on the official portal.

Please note that the correction window will get open from Oct 28th 2020 to 13th Nov 2020. Kindly keep in mind the same and don't miss this opportunity.

Since you have submitted now the form as GEN category. You can comfortably change your category in the correction window when it opens, with an extra fee which will be non refundable.

Kindly Check here all the information about GATE 2021 Application Form Correction: https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/gate-application-form-correction

Hope it helped...

Good Luck !!
