When and how do I know whether any job / admission offers have been made?

Offers can be viewed as per the time window (a priori schedule dates) for viewing and decision making.

What are the options available when I receive an offer of joining/admission?

After an admission offer is made (Excluding the Final / LAST round of offers), the candidates will have THREE options on the Online Application Portal: 1) A candidate can select any one (only) offer out of the available offers. 2) Candidate will have three options as described below: Option 1: Accept and Freeze Option 2: Retain and Wait Option 3: Reject and Wait

Why “Retain and wait” is allowed only twice on a given offer?

This rule is specifically brought in COAP 2020 to clear stratification. A candidate can choose "Retain and wait" on a specific offer only twice. Case1: If an 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 the option of "Retain and Wait" during Round 3. He/ She has to choose either "Accept and Freeze" (or) "Reject and Wait", only. Case2: If an institute ABCD offers you "Thermal Engineering" in Round 2, and you choose "Retain and Wait", and if the same is offered in Round 3 and Round 4 as well, the candidate will not have the option of "Retain and Wait" during Round 4. He/ She has to choose either "Accept and Freeze" (or) "Reject and Wait", only. Case3: If an institute ABCD offers you "Thermal Engineering" in Round 1, you choose "Retain & Wait". However, if the same institute ABCD offers your higher preference, "Design Engineering" in Round 2 and you again choose "Retain and Wait", if the same "Design Engineering" is offered in Round 3 and Round 4 as well, candidate will not have the option of "Retain and Wait" during Round 4. He/ She has to choose either "Accept and Freeze" (or) "Reject and Wait", only.

What are the steps to be taken when I accept an admission offer?

Once you Accept & Freeze an admission offer, visit the concerned organization's Webpage / Institute's M.Tech. Admission portal and complete the admission formalities within the specified due date.

Can I withdraw after accepting the offer? How about getting the Institute Fee refunded?

Please visit the webpage of the respective organization/institute and follow the withdrawal procedure as per the instructions on M.Tech. Admission offer Portal. Please note that, once an offer is accepted and frozen , you will not be considered in the subsequent round(s) of admission in any participating academic institutes/ Participating PSUs.

After declining/rejecting the offer, can I be considered for subsequent offers?

After declining/rejecting the offer(s) in a particular round, you will not be considered for the same offer(s). In case, you have given higher preferences in M.Tech. application, then you may be considered for the higher preferences in the subsequent round(s) of offers based on the availability of vacancies and merit list, within the rules of that institute.

Is there any chance for me to move up in my preference and what am I supposed to do for that?

The candidates who choose “Accept and Freeze" in a particular round of offers, will not be considered for higher preferences in the subsequent round of offers. In order to be considered for higher preferences, an option like 'Retain and Wait' may be selected at the COAP. However, getting an offer for higher preference in subsequent rounds will be based on the availability of vacancies and merit list.

Whether the admission offer will be available at the respective Institute's M.Tech. Admission website?

Can I select multiple offers at a time?

No. A candidate can select only one offer in a respective round of multiple offers from various participating Institutes / PSU’s.

Can I select multiple offer(s)/admission(s) with Retain and Wait?

No. one can select only one offer with "Retain and Wait". All other offers (if any) will be considered as rejected in the existing round. Nevertheless, the candidate will be considered for other higher preferences in the subsequent round(s) of admission offered in any participating academic institutes and public sector unit.

Whether offer release window for all participating institutes will be the same?

The admission offer release window for participating Institutes and PSUs will be the same. The offer release window will be operated at a particular interval. However, depending upon the selection process, some participating Institutes may skip some window(s) and offers may be released in any of subsequent window(s).

Will all participating Institutes have same number of rounds?

Not necessary. Depending upon the selection process, some Institutes may skip some offer release window(s) and offers may be released in any of subsequent window(s). Further, some institutes may operate additional round(s). For additional rounds, the procedure followed for offers will be described on the respective institute's website.

Can a candidate select multiple offers from different participating institutes? OR can a candidate accept multiple admission offers from a participating institute?

No. A candidate can select only one offer out of available offers. All other offers (if any) will be considered as rejected in the existing round.

If a candidate does not access or does not make a decision during a particular round of offers, then what will happen?

If a candidate does not access the COAP or does not make a decision during a particular round of offers, then all offers made during that round will be considered as 'Reject' by the candidate. Nevertheless, in case, if the candidate has given higher preferences, then the candidate will be considered for the higher preferences in the subsequent round(s) of offers. If the candidate has made the decision of 'Retain and Wait' in any of the previous rounds but does not access the COAP or does not make a decision (or not clicking 'Submit') during any subsequent round of offers, then all offers made during that round will be considered as Rejected by the candidate.

Can I view COAP offer details without registering at COAP and using own M.Tech. application ID?
