Coordinated by
CCMN-2023 (Centralized Counselling for M.Sc/ M.Sc (Tech) Admissions - 2023) is being offered
by the National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra (NITKKR). For NITs and certain CFTIs,
admissions to M.Sc/M.Sc (Tech) Programmes would be made via this Centralized Counselling
procedure based on the valid JAM score.
Our goal is to provide the best opportunities for science and technology education to the
maximum number of students and to fill all available seats at the desired institutions of the
nation via a fair and transparent admissions process. I have no doubt that CCMN-2023 will be
able to fill almost all of the seats at the participating institutions and assist students in realizing
their aspirations with greater coordination and support from all stakeholders.
I assure that the admission process will be smooth and hassle free. The CCMN-2023 team will
provide the utmost convenience to students and other stakeholders during online counselling
process. After seat allocation, applicants will be requested to provide the necessary
documents. In order to guarantee that the scanned photos and papers that are submitted are
of high quality and can be read and identified, prospective applicants must assist this process
with their own due diligence.
The aspiring candidates are requested to go through the Information Brochure (having detailed
process, schedule, flow chart, etc.), list of participating Institutes, seat matrix, eligibility matrix,
FAQ, etc. available on the CCMN 2023 website. However, if you have any difficulty in accessing
the information online at the time of admission process, there is no need to worry, just drop an
e-mail and you will be guided accordingly.
On behalf of the participating institutes and CCMN 2023, I once again wish all the eligible
candidates and other stakeholders a successful Counselling.
Jai Hind.

the required documents, and submit willingness within the stipulated time as notified
on the website from time to time as per the procedure mentioned in subsequent

Page 10 of 41
iii. Freeze, if they are satisfied with the currently allotted seat and not interested
in their better preferred choices in the subsequent round(s).
Candidates may note that special eligibility condition(s) of any program would be
checked by the allotted institute only after that seat is allotted to the candidate. Special
eligibility condition(s) of a choice filled by the candidate are not checked during
document verification in case that seat is not allotted to the candidate. So, if in the next
round a candidate is allotted a seat with special eligibility condition(s) and at that time it
is found that candidate is not fulfilling the special eligibility condition(s) for that seat,
her/his allotment would be cancelled and the candidate herself/himself would be

HER/HIS CHOICE.

b. If a candidate fails to produce a valid category/PwD certificate, her/his allotment will
stand cancelled if the presently allotted seat was based on her/his claimed category.
However, in such a case, if still eligible after updation of the category, s(he) may be
considered for allotment in subsequent rounds, as per her/his updated category. But,
after updating the category, if the candidate does not satisfy the minimum eligibility
criteria, (s)he will NOT be considered for the subsequent rounds of the Counselling
