🚀 Starting Soon after GATE 2026 Results

Qualified GATE 2026? 🔥 The Common Offer Acceptance Portal (COAP) is a mandatory platform for managing M.Tech admission offers from IITs and job offers from PSUs (like NPCIL). Coordinated by IIT Roorkee for 2026, this is your gateway to India's top institutes.

📌 What is COAP 2026?

COAP is a centralized platform where you don't apply for jobs/admission, but accept or reject the offers you receive. It covers:

• Accept/Reject/Retain M.Tech offers from 24 Participating Institutes.
• Check and accept job offers from PSUs (like NPCIL).
• Manage multiple offers in one single window.

🎓 Participating Institutes

IISc Bengaluru IIT Bombay IIT Delhi IIT Madras IIT Kanpur IIT Kharagpur + 18 other IITs & PSUs

⚠️ Critical Rule (Don't Miss This!)

COAP is NOT an application portal. You must apply separately to each IIT/Institute you are interested in. Once they make an offer, it will appear on the COAP 2026 Portal for your decision.

🔥 How it Works (3 Steps)

Step 1: Register on COAP with your GATE credentials.

Step 2: Apply to individual IITs through their respective websites.

Step 3: Check COAP during each round and choose: Accept & Freeze, Retain & Wait, or Reject.
