GATE 2025: Syllabus | Sample Papers
Hello there,
Once the CCMT (Centralized Counseling for M.Tech./M.Arch./M.Plan./M.Des.) counseling process begins and the first round of seat allotment is completed, you generally cannot change your preferences for the subsequent rounds. However, you have the following options:
Accept the Allotted Seat: If you are satisfied with the seat allotted, you can accept it and proceed with the document verification and admission process.
Upgrade Option: If you want a higher preference, you can choose the "Float" option. This means you accept the current seat but still wish to be considered for higher preferences in the next rounds.
Withdraw: If you are not satisfied with the seat and want to withdraw from the counseling, you can do so, but you will forfeit the chance to participate in subsequent rounds.
Sliding Option: If you get admitted to a particular institute and wish to stay in the same institute but desire a different branch, you can choose the sliding option, which is subject to availability.
Note: You cannot rearrange your choices or add new choices after the first round is completed. The choices you initially filled during the registration are final for the entire counseling process.
If you’re unsure or need further clarification, you can reach out to the CCMT authorities through their official helpline or email.
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
