How to Secure Your Application

Navigating the application process is straightforward. Begin by visiting the official IIT Bombay admissions portal and completing the initial registration. Once registered, you will need to fill in your personal, academic, and GATE 2026 details. The portal allows candidates to select up to 10 preferences across various specializations. After filling in the details, you must upload the required documents, pay the application fee, and submit the form. Remember that COAP 2026 registration is also a mandatory step, as seat allocation will be managed through its portal.

Application Fees and Document Checklist

The application fee is set at ₹300 for general category candidates and ₹150 for women, SC, ST, and PwD candidates. A late fee will increase these amounts to ₹800 and ₹650, respectively.
