CCMN 2026 Round 2 Seat Allotment Overview
CCMN (Centralized Counselling for M.Tech/M.Arch/M.Plan) is conducted by NIT Warangal on behalf of the Central Counselling Board. Round 2 consolidates seats freed by Round 1 exits alongside remaining reserved quota at all participating NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. For SC and ST students, Round 2 historically carries a higher allotment probability as the reserved pool sees fewer competing applicants than general category seats. The table below summarises key parameters based on 2025 CCMN counselling data.
