  • Select "Seat Allotment" from the drop-down menu.
  • The screen will display the institute-by-institute allotment of seats for each institute's status in which an application was submitted.
  • Candidates must select one of the following alternatives to confirm their seat assignment: "Accept and Freeze," "Retain and Wait," "Reject and Wait," and "Reject."

How to accept seat allotment through GATE COAP 2027?

Candidates must confirm their seat allotment using alternatives such as "Accept and Freeze," "Retain and Wait," "Reject and Wait," and "Reject." Once the seat allotment is completed, candidates must choose between "Accept and Freeze," "Retain and Wait," "Reject and Wait," and "Reject." Candidates who have not been assigned a seat in the first round will have to wait for the next round.

  • Accept and Freeze - Candidates should choose this option if they want to accept the seat that has been assigned to them and do not want to be upgraded in the following rounds of seat allocation. In any following rounds of admission, such individuals would not be considered for any seat allotment or upgrade offers.
  • Retain and Wait - Candidates should choose this option if they want to accept the assigned seat while also being considered for an upgrade in the following seat allotment rounds. Such candidates will not be considered for any of the current round's other rejected offers. In addition, if a better-preferred offer is offered in the following round, the current 'Retain and Wait' offer will be cancelled.
  • Reject and Wait - Candidates should choose this option if they do not want to take any of the assigned seats but want to be considered for future rounds of seat allocation.
  • Reject - This option denotes the final round of COAP, whereas "Reject and Wait" denotes "Reject" because there will be no more rounds of seat allocation. If a candidate does not want to take any seat offered during GATE COAP 2027, they should choose this option.
