No, all participating institutes in COAP (Centralized Online Admission Process) won't necessarily have the same number of rounds.
Here's how COAP rounds work:
- COAP conducts a set number of main rounds (typically five) where all institutes offering seats participate.
After each round, candidates can choose to:
- Accept and freeze an offer (they are done with COAP)
- Retain and wait (they want to see if they get a better offer in subsequent rounds)
- Reject and wait (they are open to any offer)
Based on the number of vacant seats and applicant choices, some institutes might choose to hold additional rounds after the main rounds.

Further, some institutes may operate additional round (s). For additional rounds, the procedure followed for offers will be described on the respective institute's website.
