CCMT Counselling 2026 Expected to Begin in May

The Centralized Counselling for MTech MArch MPlan MDes 2026 counselling process is expected to begin in May 2026 for admission to postgraduate programmes at NITs, IIITs, and other centrally funded technical institutions (CFTIs).

However, the official schedule has not yet been released. Candidates who have qualified the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering 2026 with a valid score will be eligible to participate in the counselling process at the official website ccmt.nic.in.

As per previous year trends, CCMT registration is likely to begin in May 2026, although in 2025, the process started in the last week of April, indicating a similar timeline this year. The counselling process includes online registration, choice filling, seat allotment, and document verification, allowing candidates to select their preferred institutes and programmes.

CCMT 2026 will facilitate admission to postgraduate courses such as MTech, MArch, MPlan, and MDes offered by NITs, IIITs, and other CFTIs across India. The counselling is conducted in multiple rounds (usually 3-4 rounds), giving candidates an opportunity to upgrade or change their allotted seats based on availability and preferences.

After seat allotment, candidates will be required to complete online reporting and document verification within the specified timeline. Final admission will be confirmed only after successful verification and fee payment as per the institute guidelines.
