How to Log In and See Offers from COAP 2026 Round 3?

Students need to go to the website coap2026.iitr.ac.in and click on the "LOGIN" button.
After that, they must enter their email address that was registered for COAP along with their password.
For the online admission process for the M.Tech course, all participating institutes will use the COAP registration number.

It is important to note that the "Retain & Wait" option can be used for the same offer only twice. Starting from Round 3, if a student uses the "Retain & Wait" option twice for a particular offer, they will have to choose either "Accept & Freeze" or "Reject & Wait."

COAP 2026 Round 3 Decision Options

Decision Option	Description	Best For
Accept & Freeze	Accept the offer and exit all future rounds	Satisfied with current offer
Retain & Wait	Provisionally accept while waiting for higher preferences (max 2 times per offer)	Seeking better offers in later rounds
Reject & Wait	Reject current offer and wait for higher preferences	Confident about better options ahead

Once the candidate makes their choice, they must click on "Submit" to confirm their selection. If they don't click the "Submit" button, it will be considered as not accessible to COAP, and all offers will be automatically rejected. If the candidate chooses "Accept and Freeze," they should log into the admission portal of the respective college or university right away and complete the required admission procedures.
