CCMT 2026 Round 3 seat allotment is expected to be declared on June 29, 2026 at ccmt.admissions.nic.in — students who receive an allotment must accept the seat online, pay the seat acceptance fee, and report to their allotted NIT with original documents to confirm admission.
CCMT (Centralized Counselling for M.Tech/M.Arch/M.Plan/M.Des) 2026 Round 3 is the final major counselling round for GATE-qualified students seeking postgraduate admission at NITs, IIITs, and Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs). Once the allotment result is live, you must log in to the portal, choose Freeze, Float, or Slide, pay the seat acceptance fee, and physically report to the allotted institute within the notified date. Missing any step in this chain means losing your seat permanently.

How to Accept CCMT 2026 Round 3 Seat Allotment Online
Once the Round 3 allotment is published, follow these steps on the official portal to secure your seat. All steps must be completed before the acceptance deadline — partial completion does not hold your seat:
- Visit ccmt.admissions.nic.in
- Click Registered Candidate Login and enter your GATE 2025 registration number and password
- Open the Seat Allotment tab to view your Round 3 result
- If allotted, select your preferred option: Freeze, Float, or Slide (explained in the section below)
- Pay the seat acceptance fee through the online payment gateway using net banking, debit/credit card, or UPI
- Download and print the provisional seat allotment letter — this document is required when reporting to the institute
Do not wait until the last day — payment gateway failures near the deadline will not be accepted as a valid reason for missing the window.
CCMT 2026 Seat Acceptance Fee Details
After selecting your preference (Freeze/Float/Slide), you must pay a seat acceptance fee online. This is a partial payment; the balance tuition and programme fees are paid directly at the institute. Expected fee amounts based on 2025 CCMT trends:
| Category | Expected Seat Acceptance Fee |
|---|---|
| General / OBC-NCL / EWS | Rs. 3,000 (based on 2025 CCMT trends) |
| SC / ST / PwD | Rs. 1,500 (based on 2025 CCMT trends) |
The exact fee for CCMT 2026 will be confirmed on the official portal. The seat acceptance fee is non-refundable if you withdraw after Round 3 closes. If you upgrade in a Special Round, the fee is adjusted toward your new allotment.
Freeze, Float, and Slide Options in CCMT 2026 Round 3
When you log in to accept your Round 3 allotment, you will see three options. Your choice determines whether you participate in future upgrade rounds:
| Option | What It Means | When to Choose |
|---|---|---|
| Freeze | You are satisfied with the allotted seat and do not want any further upgrades | When you want to confirm admission at the current institute and branch |
| Float | Accept the current seat but want a better branch at the same institute in the next round | When you prefer the institute but want a higher-preference branch |
| Slide | Accept the current seat but want a better branch at a higher-preference institute in the next round | When you prefer a different institute from your choice list |
Since Round 3 is the final major round, Float and Slide are only relevant if a Special Round is announced. If no Special Round follows, students who chose Float or Slide retain their Round 3 allotment. Choosing Freeze is advisable if you are happy with your current allotment and do not want to risk complications.
How to Report to Your Allotted NIT After CCMT 2026 Round 3
Reporting to the allotted institute is the final and mandatory step to complete your M.Tech/M.Arch/M.Plan/M.Des admission after accepting the seat online. Each NIT, IIIT, and GFTI sets its own reporting schedule, published on the institute’s official website. The general process is as follows:
- Check the exact reporting date and venue on your allotted institute’s official website
- Gather all original documents and prepare one set of self-attested photocopies for each
- Report to the institute’s admission office on or before the notified date
- Submit documents for original certificate verification by the admission committee
- Pay the remaining programme fee (tuition, hostel, and other applicable charges) at the institute
- Complete any medical fitness formality required by the institute
- Collect your admission confirmation from the institute
Students under the sponsored or part-time category must additionally carry an employer sponsorship letter on company letterhead. Students who fail to report by the institute deadline will lose their seat even if they accepted it online.
