The GATE enrollment ID is a unique identification number assigned to each candidate who registers for the GATE exam. The GATE Enrollment ID is generated after registering at the GOAPs portal. It is provided to candidates after completing the registration for the exam through the GATE Online Application Processing System (GOAPS). The enrollment ID is essential for accessing the candidate's GATE application, downloading the admit card, checking the exam results, and other related activities. It is important to keep the GATE enrollment ID safe and secure for future reference and communication with the GATE authorities.
