DigiLocker Verification & Helpdesk
Candidates can apply using an unverified DigiLocker account by selecting the default identity proof during the application process. However, their applications will undergo document scrutiny after the registration deadline, and original documents will be verified at examination centres. Therefore, it is recommended to use a verified DigiLocker account for a smoother experience.
Candidates with visual impairments who face difficulties with live facial capture can contact the helpdesk at helpdesk@gate.iitm.ac.in.
Candidates should not delete the DigiLocker account used for registration, as future communications will be linked to that account. Unpaid accounts and accounts without available transactions will be deleted after the portal closes.
