GATE COAP 2026 Registration - Overview

• GATE COAP (Common Offer Acceptance Portal) 2026 is a centralized online platform where GATE‑qualified candidates can see, compare, and accept or reject M.Tech/M.Plan/M.Des offers from participating Indian Institutes of Technology. It does not itself grant admission but works as a decision platform that connects your GATE scores to offers made by the IITs.

GATE COAP 2026 Eligibility Criteria

• You must have a valid GATE score in at least one of the following years: 2024, 2025, or 2026.
• If you have multiple valid GATE scores (for example GATE 2025 and GATE 2026), you should use the scorecard with the higher score or better rank while registering.
• Other Basic Conditions
