Yes, the participating institutes will look for the COAP registration number on their M.Tech applications portal during admissions. Candidates who have applied for the admission to M.Tech in any of the participating institutes, will receive admission offers only via COAP.
To access and take decision on the most preferred choice out of the offers (if any) made by participating institutes, each candidate should register and visit COAP. Without registering at COAP, the candidate will not be able to access the offers on COAP.

After each round, candidates can choose to:
- Accept and freeze an offer (they are done with COAP)
- Retain and wait (they want to see if they get a better offer in subsequent rounds)
- Reject and wait (they are open to any offer)
Based on the number of vacant seats and applicant choices, some institutes might choose to hold additional rounds after the main rounds.
