Centralized Counseling for M.Tech./M.Arch./M.Plan. Admissions 2020

About CCMT-2020

CCMT-2020 is a common platform for candidates to apply for M.Tech./ M.Arch./ M.Plan./M.Des. programmes, based on their GATE score of years 2018, 2019 and 2020, in all NITs, IIEST Shibpur, and some IIITs & GFTIs (For details, please refer the list of Participating Institutes on CCMT website). This centralized system provides a common and convenient platform for online counseling wherein the candidates can fill-in single online application form from their homes and apply to all programmes in all the participating institutions to which they are eligible. The CCMT was initiated in the year 2012 for centralized admission for PG programmes and since then has undergone several changes to make it more student-friendly and included newer institutions under its umbrella. In the CCMT-2020, new features such as online document verification have been introduced. For this purpose, after seat allotment, the candidates will be required to upload the needful documents. The features such as online withdrawal and willingness change etc. have been inherited from the previous years. Thus, the CCMT-2020 enormously increases the overall convenience of candidates. Candidates are allowed to participate in both regular rounds and Special Rounds even if one has obtained a seat in the regular round. The prospective candidates are advised to carefully read the information brochure and various other documents given on CCMT website.
