CCMT Counselling: Registration, Choice Filling, Seat Allotment & Eligibility

CCMT Counselling is the centralized admission process for candidates seeking admission to M.Tech., M.Arch., and M.Plan. programmes offered by NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs) based on valid GATE scores. The counselling process is conducted entirely online through the official CCMT portal.

Unlike COAP, candidates do not need to submit separate applications to each participating NIT or institute. The complete admission process, including registration, choice filling, preference locking, seat allotment, and fee payment, is carried out through a single CCMT portal.

CCMT Counselling Process 

The CCMT admission process is completed through the following stages:

Step 1: Online Registration

Register on the CCMT portal using your GATE credentials, academic details, and personal information.

Step 2: Choice Filling & Locking

Select and arrange your preferred institutes and programmes before the deadline.

Choice filling is one of the most important stages of CCMT counselling. Since seat allotment depends on both GATE score and the order of preferences, candidates should carefully arrange their choices before locking them. Once the deadline passes, preferences cannot be modified.

Seats are allotted based on:

• GATE score

• Category

• Programme preferences

• Seat availability

Candidates can check their allotment by logging into the CCMT portal.

Step 4: Document Verification

Candidates allotted seats must complete online document verification and pay the prescribed seat acceptance fee.

Step 5: Reporting to the Allotted Institute

After completing document verification, candidates must report to the allotted institute within the prescribed schedule to complete admission formalities.
