16.clouds of suspicion cleared about GATE 2009

hello friends,

the validity of gate 2009
is only for one year .
but in the detail of eligibility it is written that
pre final year student can also apply.

on saturday i called the GATE OFFICE of roorkee
they said that 3rd year student can only fill the forms and take the exam
as an experience, they can not take admission because the validity of scores are valid only for one year
