The GATE 2024 seat allotment will determine the institute and branch allotted to candidates based on their GATE score, preferences filled during counselling, seat availability, and reservation criteria. The process will start after the GATE 2024 results are declared by IIT Kanpur in mid-March 2024. Seat allotment will happen in multiple rounds consisting of initial rounds followed by spot rounds. In each round, candidates have to login to the GOAPS portal and fill/reorder their choices. Based on the candidate's GATE score and filled choices, they will be allotted seats in IITs, NITs, IIITs and other GATE participating institutes.
Higher rank candidates will get allotted preferred choices in initial rounds. Multiple seat allotment rounds will take place until most seats are filled up. There will also be an option to freeze the currently allotted seat. Finally, in the spot admission rounds, vacant seats in various institutes will be allotted just before the academic session begins. Qualified candidates who haven’t received seat allotment in earlier rounds will get last chance for admission in spot rounds.
