COAP Dates

GATE 2026 COAP counselling dates will be released in June/July after the announcement of results. Students who want to take admission in IITs must register through COAP for counselling.

The GATE COAP is mainly conducted in five rounds, during which students can accept or reject the offers from the participating institutes. Optional rounds are available from Round 6 to 10. These rounds are treated as independent decisive rounds, where candidates can only accept, freeze, or reject. The GATE COAP Round I registration starts from May 17. Candidates are advised to go through all the instructions and guidelines before registering for the GATE counselling.
