Applying to NIT Durgapur for 2026 involves centralised portals like JoSAA for UG (BTech) and CCMT for PG (MTech/MSc), where form filling occurs post-exam qualification. No institute-specific form exists pre-counselling; focus shifts to accurate data entry on these platforms to avoid rejection. Start by qualifying JEE Main 2026 (UG) or GATE 2026 (PG), then proceed to registration—deadlines align with May 2026 for both.

How to Fill the JoSAA Form for UG Admissions

For B.Tech at NIT Durgapur, fill the JoSAA form after JEE Main results (April 2026). Access josaa.nic.in from May 2026; the process verifies your JEE credentials before unlocking the details entry.

• Registration and Login Setup: Click "Candidate Login/Register" on the homepage. Enter your JEE Main 2026 application number, roll number, name as in the JEE form, and date of birth. Verify via OTP sent to your registered mobile/email. Create a new JoSAA password (8+ characters, mix of letters/numbers/symbols)—do not reuse your JEE password.
• Personal and Academic Details Entry: Once logged in, the dashboard auto-pulls JEE data. Confirm and edit: full name, gender, category (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/General), PwD status, nationality, state of eligibility (West Bengal for HS quota at NIT Durgapur), and contact info. Upload scanned Class 12 marksheet (provisional if results pending), category/income certificates (issued after April 1, 2026, for validity), and photo/signature (JPEG, <100KB). The academic section requires board name, year of passing, and percentage—cross-check against originals to prevent mismatches.
• Fee Payment: Pay the partial admission fee online (₹45,000 for general/OBC via net banking/credit/debit; ₹20,000 for SC/ST/PwD) using SBI e-challan or integrated gateway. Save the receipt—it's non-refundable if you opt out later, but adjustable against first-semester dues at NIT Durgapur.
• Choice Filling and Locking: From the "Choice Filling" tab, search for NIT Durgapur (institute code 214) and select up to 100 preferences—prioritise branches like CSE (program code 101) by dragging into order. Use the mock allotment (two rounds in late May) to refine; final lock by June 8, 2026 (11:59 PM IST). No edits post-lock—print the filled sheet for records.

Rejection risks: Incomplete uploads or mismatched data lead to disqualification; verify twice before submitting.

How to Fill the CCMT Form for PG Admissions

MTech/MSc applicants use ccmt.admissions.nic.in from May 2026, post-GATE 2026 results. The form mirrors JoSAA but ties to GATE scores.

• Registration: Log in with GATE 2026 enrollment ID, roll number, and DOB. Set a CCMT password and link your Aadhaar for verification.
• Profile Completion: Input degree details (bachelor's percentage, branch), GATE score/subject, category proofs, and uploads (GATE scorecard, degree certificate). For NIT Durgapur M.Tech without GATE, select "sponsored" mode and attach the employer letter.
• Options and Fee: Pay ₹2,000 registration fee (₹1,400 SC/ST/PwD). Fill choices for NIT Durgapur programs (e.g., code 214 for institute), up to 100 slots, locking by June 2026 end.

Document uploads ensure seamless verification at the reporting stage.
