NIT Trichy M.Tech CSE CCMT 2026 Closing Score: Category-Wise Cutoff and Round-Wise Trends

The CCMT 2026 closing GATE score for M.Tech CSE at NIT Trichy (National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli) is expected between 760 and 790 for the General category in the final round, based on a steady upward trend that took the closing score from 637 in 2023 to 747 in 2025.

CCMT — Centralised Counselling for M.Tech/M.Arch/M.Plan — is the national admission route for postgraduate engineering seats at NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. NIT Trichy’s M.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering is one of the most competitive programmes on the CCMT platform, with General category closing scores rising by more than 110 points over the last three years. Admission operates across multiple rounds, and the closing score eases from Round 1 to the final round each year as high-scoring students who hold IIT M.Tech offers withdraw from CCMT, vacating seats for students with slightly lower GATE scores.

• CCMT 2025 final-round closing GATE score for NIT Trichy M.Tech CSE (General): 747 — up from 712 in 2024 and 637 in 2023.
• Round 1 closing score in CCMT 2025 was 777, falling to 764 in Round 2 and 747 in the final round — a 30-point relaxation across the counselling cycle.

Round-Wise Closing GATE Score — CCMT 2025, NIT Trichy M.Tech CSE

CCMT 2025 ran three counselling rounds under Phase I. The closing score for the General category eased by 30 points from Round 1 to the final round. Students who missed the Round 1 cutoff retained a genuine chance of admission in later rounds.

Opening scores for Round 2 and Round 3 are approximate (~) estimates based on typical CCMT allotment patterns. Closing scores for all three rounds are drawn from official CCMT 2025 data. A student with a GATE score of 750 who missed Round 1 (cutoff 777) could have secured admission in Round 3 (cutoff 747).

Factors That Affect the CCMT Closing Score for NIT Trichy M.Tech CSE

The closing GATE score at NIT Trichy M.Tech CSE is not a fixed number — it shifts every year and every round based on several demand and supply factors:

• GATE CS score distribution: A larger share of students scoring above 700 in GATE 2026 directly increases competition for the same number of seats at NIT Trichy.
• Seat intake: NIT Trichy M.Tech CSE has a fixed intake per year. Any change in the seat matrix shifts the closing score proportionally.
• IIT M.Tech offers: Top GATE scorers who also hold an IIT seat typically withdraw from CCMT in later rounds, freeing up NIT Trichy seats and pulling the closing score down.
• Float and Slide preferences: Students who exercise the Float or Slide option to upgrade to a higher-preference institute vacate their current allotment, again reducing the effective cutoff in subsequent rounds.
• Category seat filling: If reserved category seats go unfilled in early rounds, the closing score for those categories drops in later rounds to fill the remaining vacancy.
