Why the Deadline Was Extended

The original last date for registration was May 2, 2026. IIT Roorkee, the organising institute this year, extended it by a few days to help students complete the process smoothly. Many candidates faced last-minute issues, so the extra time gives them a fair chance to apply.

In its official notice, IIT Roorkee asked candidates not to wait until the final hours. The institute also reminded everyone that registration is only complete after the fee is paid. So filling the form alone isn't enough.
