Is CCMT an exam? How is it linked to GATE?
No. CCMT is only a counselling process. You need a valid GATE score first, and CCMT then allots M.Tech, M.Arch and M.Plan seats at NITs and other institutes on that score. CCMT 2026 accepted GATE scores of 2024, 2025 and 2026, so CCMT 2027 is expected to accept the 2025, 2026 and 2027 scores; the 2027 brochure will confirm it.
| Step | What happens | When |
|---|---|---|
| 1. GATE 2027 application | Apply online on GOAPS (now closed) | 2 September to 12 October 2026, with late fee |
| 2. GATE 2027 exam | Computer-based test in your chosen paper | 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21 February 2027 |
| 3. GATE 2027 result | GATE score (out of 1000) and All India Rank released | 19 March 2027 |
| 4. CCMT 2027 counselling | Register, fill choices, get seats in rounds | Expected May to August 2027 |
IITs and IISc are not part of CCMT; they make M.Tech offers on GATE scores through COAP and their own portals. For M.Sc. seats at NITs on IIT JAM ranks, the parallel counselling is CCMN.

Who can take part in CCMT 2027?
You can take part if you have a valid GATE score and meet the minimum marks in your bachelor’s degree. The 2026 rules were:
- A valid GATE score of 2024, 2025 or 2026 (the three-year window is expected to move to 2025 to 2027).
- At least 6.5 CGPA on a 10-point scale or 60% in the qualifying degree for GEN, GEN-EWS and OBC candidates.
- At least 6.0 CGPA or 55% for SC, ST and PwD candidates.
- Only the primary mode on your marksheet counts. If it shows both CGPA and percentage, CGPA is used, and a university’s own conversion is not accepted.
- Final-year students can join provisionally if all exams end by 15 August and they meet the marks requirement by 30 September (2026 dates), with a course completion certificate.
- Each programme accepts only certain GATE papers and degree disciplines, listed in the eligibility matrix on the CCMT website. Some programmes also have special eligibility conditions.
CCMT fills full-time seats that carry a scholarship. It does not cover sponsored seats or part-time programmes; contact the institute for those.

How does CCMT seat allotment work?
CCMT ranks candidates by the GATE score of the year they enter. Seats are then allotted by merit, your locked choices, your category and the seats left.
- Ties on GATE score go to the lower value of AIR divided by the number who took that GATE paper, then to the older candidate, then by a random number.
- Reserved-category candidates are first considered for OPEN seats, then for their category seats.
- After each regular round you pay the Seat Acceptance Fee, choose Freeze, Float or Slide and upload documents for online verification.
- Some programmes split seats into groups (G1, G2 and so on) by degree discipline. In the special rounds, unfilled seats in a higher group move to a lower group of the same category.
- Seats left after three regular rounds go to two special rounds and then a National Spot Round, each needing fresh registration.
The full round-wise steps, fees and refund rules are on the CCMT 2027 seat allotment page.
What documents do you need for CCMT 2027?
You upload colour scans of these originals for online document verification after a seat is allotted (2026 list):
- Proof of date of birth: Class 10 marksheet or certificate
- Photo ID proof
- Class 12 marksheet or equivalence certificate
- Marksheets of all semesters of the qualifying degree
