It is advised to read the instructions provided for uploading documents as they have specifically mentioned the formats for all documents. Here's what you should ensure for uploading certificate-
It should in .pdf format and not in jpeg or jpg.
The size of the document you are trying to upload shouldn't be more than 1Mb.

Try again after you read instructions and let me know.

Hi, it is solved now...new file size is 131KB...initially it was 269KB;although that was within maximum range(300KB), dnt knw why d error was appearing....nyways I got able to upload 😀

@Gautham Prashanth • 12 Oct, 2014 First scan the HOD Certificate as an image
(jpg), paste it in an MS-Word file, expand it as much as possible. Now File --> Save as type-->PDF (Minimum size (publishing online)). Now upload this PDF.

I don't know how, but this worked for many of my friends. Indeed, it was my friend's advice to do so.

What's the error exactly?
Since now it's 11th hour, we can't deny server issues. If it's possible, you may try visiting GATE office, if nothing else works out.
