You apply on the PG admission page after GATE, and you can list up to 14 programmes in order of preference. The department ranks you by normalised GATE marks, and the IIT Roorkee admission procedure then moves to offers. Offers for GATE candidates come through the COAP 2026 portal. If you accept and freeze an offer, you pay the fee and register online. You then report for document verification. In the IIT Roorkee admission procedure of 2026, the offers ran through 11 rounds, and the last was a special round.
The IIT Roorkee admission procedure for the MBA starts with an online application and a CAT score. The institute then shortlists you for a group discussion and interview, as the IIT Roorkee admission procedure sets. In 2026 the interviews were held at Roorkee, Greater Noida, Bengaluru and Kolkata. A merit list based on your overall performance gives provisional offers by email. Waitlist rounds follow until the 95 seats fill.
