COAP doesn’t calculate the ranks; it uses the GATE ranks. Various IITs have different Cutoffs for different categories and rounds. For example, if a candidate gets a GATE score of 750 with a 300 rank for CS Paper, and he applies for an IIT Kharagpur CSE seat. Then, if the First round of counselling has an opening rank of 100 and a closing rank of 700, the candidate with a 300 rank gets an offer.
Many factors influence the Common Offer Acceptance Portals' Opening and Closing Ranks. Below are the number of factors mentioned here. Candidates have to focus on these to get Good COAP rankings for MTech admissions into IITs and IISc.

Yes, it will be acceptable. In GATE registration, the name should match your valid photo ID proof in terms of spelling, not the order. Many Indian IDs have surname written first, while the portal generates it as first–middle–last. Since all three parts of your name (Vikash, Rameshbhai, Bhagel) are correct, there won’t be any issue. Just ensure you upload the correct ID proof. During verification, they check spelling, photo, and signature, not the word order.
Hello,
Yes, you can change your category from General to OBC during the GATE 2026 correction window.
GATE always allows candidates to correct details like category. You will need to pay a small correction fee for this change. Make sure you upload a valid OBC certificate as per the format and date mentioned by GATE.
So, wait for the correction window, log in to your application, and update your category to OBC.
