- Reject: Reject the offer and exit the COAP counselling process.
CCMT 2027 (Centralized Counselling for M.Tech/M.Arch/M.Plan)
CCMT is a single window online counselling platform for postgraduate admissions across non IIT premier engineering institutes.
- Participating Institutes: All 31 NITs, IIITs, and select Centrally Funded Technical Institutes (CFTIs/GFTIs).
- Key Process: Unlike COAP, candidates submit a single centralized application form on the CCMT portal where they fill and lock their preferred choices of colleges and specializations based on their GATE 2027 score.
- Counselling Stages:
- Regular Rounds (Rounds 1–3): Automated merit-based seat allotment.
- Special Rounds (SR 1 & SR 2): Conducted for vacant seats remaining after regular rounds.
