The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee has commenced the registration process for the Common Offer Acceptance Portal (COAP) 2026, a centralised platform for MTech admissions and Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) recruitment through the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). Eligible candidates can apply on the official website, coap2026.iitr.ac.in.
COAP serves as a common platform where candidates can view and accept offers from participating institutes and PSUs. However, applicants must separately apply to individual institutes such as Indian Institute of Science Bengaluru and various IITs, as well as to PSUs, to be considered for admission or recruitment.
Candidates who have qualified GATE in 2026, 2025, or 2024 are eligible to register for COAP 2026. Applicants must be Indian citizens. In cases where a candidate holds multiple valid GATE scorecards, the one with the higher score or better rank should be used.
