While working online or typing, it is common for many of us to make mistakes. Sometimes it’s just one wrong letter, sometimes an entire sentence that changes the original meaning. Even when creating important emails or applications, we make sure to proofread and verify the details. But have you ever received an email with an error from an official organization? Recently, a user posted a screenshot of an email he received from the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) conducting team – IIT Roorkee. In the email, the aspirant was humorously referred to as a popular South Indian food item, and it certainly drew a lot of laughs on the internet.
The post was shared on Reddit by user /No_Yogurt8713. In the screenshot shared, there was a strange and mismatched greeting that read: “Dear idli chutney not sambar,” followed by the message, “GATE 2025 admit cards are now available to download from GOAPS portal.” The user wrote, “Is this some kind of joke? I have received this official mail from GATE. Is this intentional? How can they make such a mistake?” Take a look at the post below:

The post went viral in no time, leaving internet users confused and shocked and many sharing their reactions. One person wrote, “Lmao bhai, download your admit card, your name ‘Idli Chutney’ is not there anywhere.” Another said, “Yes, true, I also found the same, which shows that there might be a hack into the official system of IIT Roorkee.” Hello. Idli chutney no sambhar, sarson da saag aur makki di roti,” wrote another jokingly.

Someone else joked, “That intern deserves a raise in IT sales.” Another commented, “I barely know what chutney is, and I’m completely ignorant about sambar, but this could cause social problems.” “Someone will be fired,” one user said. Another wrote: ‘I got this too, it’s true.’
