CCMN 2026 Round 2 seat allotment will be announced on Monday, June 22, 2026, and students allotted a seat for the first time in this round must pay the Seat Acceptance Fee (SAF) of ?15,000 (GEN/GEN-EWS/OBC) or ?10,000 (SC/ST/PwD) by Wednesday, June 24, 2026 at 12:30 PM IST.
CCMN — Centralized Counselling for M. Sc./M. Sc. (Tech.) Admissions — is conducted by NIC on behalf of the participating institutes for students qualifying IIT JAM 2026. Students who were allotted seats in Round 1 and chose Float or Slide as their willingness can receive an upgraded seat in Round 2 without paying SAF again. Only students allotted a seat for the first time in Round 2 need to complete the SAF payment to secure their allotment. Non-payment leads to automatic cancellation of the allotted seat.

Seat Acceptance Fee Amount by Category
The SAF for CCMN 2026 is ?15,000 for General, GEN-EWS, and OBC students, and ?10,000 for SC, ST, and PwD students. This fee is not an additional charge — it is adjusted against the final admission fee at the institute. Students receive proof of SAF payment which must be produced at the time of physical reporting at the finally allotted institute.
| Category | Seat Acceptance Fee (SAF) | Partial Admission Fee (PAF) |
|---|---|---|
| GEN / GEN-EWS / OBC | ?15,000 | ?10,000 |
| SC / ST / PwD | ?10,000 | ?5,000 |
Note: The Partial Admission Fee (PAF) is a separate payment made later (by July 6, 2026) to confirm your seat after all regular rounds are complete. The SAF must be paid first, immediately after Round 2 allotment.
Who Needs to Pay SAF in Round 2
Not all students eligible for Round 2 need to pay the SAF. The requirement depends on whether you received a seat in Round 1.
| Candidate Type | Description | SAF Required in Round 2? |
|---|---|---|
| Type I | Registered but not allotted any seat in Round 1 | Yes — pay SAF after Round 2 allotment |
| Type II | Seat allotted in Round 1 but cancelled during document verification; still eligible | Yes — pay fresh SAF if allotted in Round 2 |
| Type III | Allotted in Round 1, paid SAF, and specified Float/Slide for upgrade consideration | No — SAF already paid; update willingness only |
Students who paid SAF in Round 1 and chose Freeze will retain their Round 1 seat and will not receive a new allotment in Round 2. Only those who chose Float or Slide will be considered for an upgraded allotment.
How to Pay SAF After Round 2 Allotment
The Round 2 SAF payment window opens the same day as the allotment — June 22, 2026 — and closes on June 24, 2026 at 12:30 PM IST. Students must complete payment within this narrow window. Failure to pay by the deadline results in automatic cancellation of the allotted seat.
- Visit the official CCMN 2026 portal at ccmn.admissions.nic.in
- Log in using your registered IIT JAM application number and password
- Go to the "Seat Allotment Result" section and check your Round 2 allotment
- Click on "Pay Seat Acceptance Fee" to proceed to the payment gateway
- Select your preferred payment mode: UPI, Debit Card, Credit Card, or Net Banking
- Complete the payment and save the payment confirmation receipt

Keep the payment receipt and PSAL safely. Both documents are required at the time of physical reporting at the finally allotted institute after the National Spot Round concludes.
What to Do After Paying SAF
Once SAF is paid, three actions unlock in your CCMN portal — all must be completed before the June 24 deadline.
| Step | Action | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Submit Willingness — choose Freeze, Float, or Slide | Determines whether you are eligible for Round 3 upgrade consideration |
| 2 | Upload Documents Online — class 10, 12, degree, category certificate, IIT JAM scorecard, etc. | Mandatory for institute verification; seat is cancelled if not uploaded in time |
| 3 | Track Document Verification — check your login portal daily for queries from the allotted institute | Unanswered queries lead to seat cancellation; respond within the stipulated time |
Willingness options explained:
- Freeze — you are satisfied with your Round 2 seat and do not want to be considered in Round 3
- Float — you wish to be considered in Round 3 for any better-preferred choice across all institutes
- Slide — you wish to be considered in Round 3 only for better-preferred choices within the same allotted institute
Students who already submitted willingness in Round 1 need not submit again in Round 2, but can change their willingness during the dedicated change-of-willingness window if needed.
