1. Introduction

The centralized online process for admission to PG Programmes (M.Sc./M.sc.(Tech)) is being


organized by CCMN-2024 for NITs, IIEST Shibpur and some CFTIs, hereinafter called
`Participating Institutes' (PIs), as per schedule given on CCMN website. These are the
premier institutions of the country imparting world class technical education.

Important features of the admission procedure, admission schedule, process flow chart and
contact details of CCMN-2024 headquarter are given in this brochure. The list of PIs and
their Seat Distribution, Eligibility Matrix, Date of commencement of classes, Fee Structure,
Contact Addresses, etc. are given on the CCMN website https://ccmn.admissions.nic.in.
Candidates are advised to read this brochure carefully and visit the CCMN website
regularly for all the updates regarding the counselling process.

The Counselling process of Regular Rounds consists of following stages excluding pre-

Submitting Willingness, Uploading Documents, and Online Document Verification (refer

In addition to regular rounds, two Special Rounds (SR), and a National Spot Round (NSR) will
also be conducted to fill-up the vacant seats, if any. For a detailed counselling process of
Special Rounds and National Spot Round, please refer to Section 7 / Section 9.

If at any stage it is found that the information submitted by the candidate about her/his Qualifying
Degree is different from her/his undergraduate degree, then the allotment will be cancelled.

During document verification, the verifying officer may enquire the candidate about her/his documents.
If the candidate does not respond within the scheduled time, then the case would be considered as non-
reported.

It is important to ensure that the candidate should regularly check the registered email for notices,
schedules/enquiries/comments during the counselling period and prompt action/s must be taken
accordingly. The candidate should be available on the registered phone number to respond to the
queries raised during the counselling process.

The CCMN-2024 counselling is for full time seats carrying scholarship. It is NOT for candidates seeking
admission to Sponsored Seats or Part Time programmes, for which candidate should contact the
respective institutes for the same.

be used in the stated order.

Score in the year 2024.

considered for breaking ties. Elder candidate will be given preference.

5.2.1 First Round of Counselling


Eligible candidates for seat allotment: Candidates who have registered for CCMN-2024,
paid registration fee and filled & saved choices.

5.2.1.1 Seat Allotment


All the available seats will be considered for the allotment. The choices submitted by the
candidates during registration will be processed and a seat will be allotted based on the
merit, as per the rules of allotment (See Section 3). The allotment result will be declared
on the CCMN website and candidates will be able to download their Provisional Seat

12
Allotment Letter (PSAL) from their CCMN login after depositing the Seat Acceptance Fee.
No hard copy of the Provisional Seat Allotment Letter will be sent to the candidates
individually.

On allotment of a seat, the candidate is required to pay the Seat Acceptance Fee, submit
willingness and upload the required documents within the stipulated time as notified on
the website from time to time as per the procedure mentioned in subsequent sections. If
the candidate fails to perform any of these activities within the stipulated time period,
(s)he will lose any claim on the allotted seat and will not be considered for seat allotment
in subsequent rounds of Counselling.

5.2.1.2 Payment of Seat Acceptance Fee


When a seat is allotted to the candidate, (s)he has to pay the Seat Acceptance Fee (refer
Table 3) through UPI/Debit Card/Credit Card/Net Banking (refer section 11 for methods of
payment) during the period mentioned in the Schedule given on the website. In case the
candidate fails to pay the Seat Acceptance Fee, her/his seat allotment shall automatically
stand cancelled and (s)he will not be considered for the subsequent rounds of allotment.
Proof of payment of Seat Acceptance Fee has to be produced by the candidate at the
time of reporting at the finally allotted institute. Only after payment of Seat Acceptance
Fee, the candidate will be able to download the Provisional Seat Allotment Letter (PSAL),
submit willingness and upload the documents online.

5.2.1.3 Online Submission of Willingness


On allotment of a seat and payment of Seat Acceptance Fee, the candidates are required
to exercise one of the following willingness online through their login:
i. Float, if they wish to be considered in the next round for all of their better
preferred choices (i.e. across the Institutes) or,
ii. Slide, if they wish to be considered in the next round for their better preferred
choices only within the Institute allotted to them or,
iii. Freeze, if they are satisfied with the currently allotted seat and not interested in
their better preferred choices in the subsequent round(s).

5.2.1.4 Online Document Uploading


On allotment of a seat and payment of Seat Acceptance Fee, the candidate will have to
upload the required documents (as per list mentioned in Annexure-III) through their login
for online verification as per the schedule given on the CCMN website. Please note that
the option of document upload will be enabled only after payment of Seat Acceptance
Fee. Guidelines for document uploading will be made available on the CCMN website.

13
PwD candidates are required to upload the scanned copy of an Affidavit in a format
mentioned in Annexure-VI in addition to the PwD certificate, which they need to carry in
original at the time of physical reporting at the allotted institute.

If the original certificates are not in English/Hindi, English/Hindi version/translation of such


certificates, duly certified by the Principal/Director or other competent authority, will be
required along with the original certificate(s).

5.2.1.5 Online Document Verification


The document verification will be done by the verifying officers of the participating
institutes only in the online mode. In case of a doubt/query regarding the documents, the
Document Verifying Officer will raise a query to the candidate, against which, the
candidate can respond through her/his login. This interaction between the Document
Verifying Officer and the candidate can occur multiple times till the issue is resolved. The
candidate will be compulsorily required to submit her/his clarifications/documents in
response to the queries raised by the Document Verifying Officer in the stipulated time
period, failing which (s)he will be treated as Not-Reported, and hence her/his seat will be
cancelled and (s)he will not be considered for seat allotment in subsequent rounds. Thus,
the candidates are advised to regularly visit their login portal for any such query raised by
the verifying officer and respond to the same within stipulated time. In case, the seat is
cancelled in Regular Rounds, the candidate may participate in Special Rounds, if (s)he
fulfills the eligibility requirements at that time.

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
responsible for the same. IN ESSENCE, CANDIDATE MUST CAREFULLY CHECK THAT (S)HE
IS FULFILLING SPECIAL ELIGIBILTY CONDITION(S) FOR THE SEAT BEFORE ADDING IT AS
HER/HIS CHOICE.
