The final seat matrix will be shared at the venue on the spot round day. It will depend on vacancies left after earlier counselling rounds.

Who Is Eligible to Apply?

For M Tech admission, candidates must hold a valid GATE 2026 scorecard. They must also meet the qualifying degree norms set by the institute. Only candidates without a locked seat elsewhere should join this round.

For M Sc admission, discipline-specific eligibility rules apply as per the institute. Candidates should read the official notification for the full criteria. Reservation policy will follow central government norms for NITs.

How to Participate in the Spot Round?

Candidates must report in person at the Chumukedima campus on August 12. The institute will verify documents at the venue itself. It will then publish the list of vacant seats.

Seat allotment happens on the spot based on merit and category. Late arrivals may not be considered for allotment. Candidates should reach the venue well before the scheduled reporting time.

Documents Required at the Venue

Candidates must carry originals and self-attested photocopies of the following documents.

GATE 2026 scorecard, for M Tech applicants
Qualifying degree mark sheets and certificate
Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates
Category certificate, if applicable (SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD)
Valid photo identity proof issued by the government
Recent passport-size photographs
Admission fee in the mode prescribed by the institute

Fee Payment and Seat Confirmation

Candidates who receive seat allotment must pay the admission fee on the same day. The fee follows the structure notified by NIT Nagaland for the 2026-27 session. Payment mode details are given in the official notification.

Non-payment on the day of allotment may lead to cancellation of the seat. The vacant seat will then move to the next candidate in the merit list.

Why This Matters

The spot round is often a candidate's last chance at an NIT this year. It helps students who missed CCMT or M Sc counselling. A one-day trip to Dimapur can still secure a fresh NIT tag.
