The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bengaluru, the coordinating body for the Common Offer Acceptance Portal (COAP) 2025, has officially revised the counselling schedule once again. As per the latest announcement, Round 2 of the COAP 2025 counselling process will now take place from May 23 (10 AM) to May 25 (6 PM). The rescheduling follows closely after the conclusion of Round 1 on May 20, 2025.
COAP is a centralised online platform that facilitates admission and job offer acceptances for candidates with valid GATE scores. Through this portal, applicants can access, accept, reject, or waitlist offers from participating Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bengaluru, and several Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).
