You will register only once but registration details will include all other GATE scores of the last three years. Failing to do so will result in disqualification.

Case I: Candidates graduating / graduated from IITs who have a valid GATE score (2024 and/or 2023 and/or 2022) and intend to apply for the Admission in the participating Institutes, then the candidate should register at COAP 2024 with their valid GATE score (s).

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.
