No. For viewing and making decisions on available admission offer (s) from the participating Institute (s),  candidates will have to register at COAP. M.Tech application IDs can be different at different Institutes but  you will have only one COAP registration number. Moreover, COAP registration number is a mandatory field in the M.Tech Application process of the participating institutes.

This rule is specifically brought in COAP 2020 to clear stratification. A candidate can choose “Retain and wait” on a specific offer only twice. For example, if institute ABCD offers you “Thermal Engineering” in Round 1, and you choose “Retain and Wait”, and if the same is offered in Round 2 and Round 3 as well,   the candidate will not have “Retain and Wait” option during Round 3. He/She has to choose either “Accept and Freeze” (or) “Reject All and Wait”, only.

After an admission offer is made (Excluding the Final / LAST round of offers), the candidates will have THREE options on the Online Application Portal. A candidate can select any one (only) offer out of the available offers. Candidate will have three options as described below:

• Option 1: Accept and Freeze
• Option 2: Retain and Wait
• Option 3: Reject All and Wait 

Yes, all participating institutes/PSUs will seek COAP registration number on their Application portal for  admissions/job. Candidates who have applied for admission into an M.Tech. Programme in any of the  participating academic institutes, or applied to any PSU for job will receive admission offers only via COAP. To access and take a decision on the most preferred choice out of the offers (if any) made by participating  Institute (s)/PSU (s), each candidate should register and visit COAP. Without registering at COAP, the candidate will not be able to access the offers on COAP.
