UPTAC / AKTU Counselling 2026
Round 2 Seat Allotment Result & Complete Guide

Clear the Qualifying Entrance Exam

A valid JEE Main 2026 score is required for B.Tech. NATA for B.Arch, CUET UG (with AKTU chosen at application stage) for select courses. Without a valid scorecard, UPTAC registration cannot be completed.

Generate Your APAAR / ABC ID

APAAR ID (Academic Bank of Credits ID) is mandatory for UPTAC 2026 registration. Registration remains incomplete without it. Generate it before starting.

• Login to DigiLocker (digilocker.gov.in)
• Navigate to Academic Bank of Credits and generate your ID
• Save the APAAR ID number — it's needed during registration

UPTAC Portal Registration & Fee Payment

Registration at uptac.samarth.edu.in is now closed (was extended to July 20, 2026). It was a one-time process — registration is NOT allowed in Round 2, 3 or 4. Candidates who already registered continue directly into choice filling and allotment rounds.

• Entry required JEE Main 2026 application number, name, mother's name, DOB, gender
• Personal and entrance exam details — no corrections allowed after submission
• Verified via OTP on registered mobile and email

Upload All Required Documents

Upload clear JPG/PDF scans during registration. Blurry or invalid documents cause verification delays.

• Class 10th & 12th Marksheets and Certificates
• JEE Main 2026 Scorecard and Admit Card
• Passport-size Photo and Signature (as per specifications)
• Aadhaar Card and APAAR/ABC ID Proof
• Category Certificate (OBC/SC/ST/EWS), Income Certificate, UP Domicile Certificate

Central Document Verification

UPTAC's Central Document Verification Team verifies all uploaded documents on a rolling basis. On successful verification, an SMS and email confirmation is sent. Choice filling unlocks only after this step. If there is a mismatch, a correction window may be provided — check your email regularly.

Choice Filling — Select Colleges & Branches

Round 1 Choice Filling ran from July 13 to 16, 2026. This is the most critical step in the entire counselling process. Choices must be filled in strict priority order — order matters enormously for seat allotment. Float candidates got another window (July 21–22) to edit choices before Round 2 allotment.

• Mix dream college, safe options, and backup colleges
• Fill the maximum number of valid choices — never fill just 1 or 2
• Research placement records and infrastructure before finalising order

Seat Allotment Result — Round 2 (Out 24 July 2026)

UPTAC allots seats based on three factors: JEE Main Rank, Category, and Choice Order / Priority. The Round 2 seat allotment result was declared today, 24 July 2026, on uptac.samarth.edu.in. Log in with your application number and password to view your allotted college, branch and category under the "Seat Allotment" tab.

Willingness Options — Freeze / Float / Slide

After viewing your Round 2 allotted seat, choose one willingness option immediately. Freeze = accept permanently, no more upgrades. Float = keep the seat but participate in Round 3 for potential upgrade. Slide = keep the college, upgrade branch within the same institute. Most students choose Float.

Pay Seat Confirmation Fee

Pay the seat acceptance fee online right after choosing your willingness option, and before the 26 July 2026 deadline. Failure to pay on time = seat is cancelled and you are out of counselling for that round.

Rounds 3 & 4 — Late July / August 2026

If you chose Float or Slide in Round 2, you automatically participate in Round 3 and Round 4. Each round re-runs the allotment based on updated vacancies and your retained choice order. You must pay the seat fee again in each round you get a new allotment. Withdrawal is permitted in Rounds 2, 3, and 4 (with partial refund).

Internal Sliding Round

AKTU conducts an internal sliding round specifically for candidates who have already reported physically to their allotted institute. This allows a branch upgrade within the same college. Vacant seats for special rounds are published after this round.

Special Rounds 1 & 2 — August 2026

Two special rounds are conducted for remaining vacant seats, open to JEE Main 2026, CUET UG 2026, and Class 12 merit candidates. These rounds are also open to candidates from other states. Candidates with lower ranks often find quality colleges available here.

Physical Reporting at Allotted College

Once your seat is finalised, physically report to the allotted institute on the date specified in the UPTAC schedule. Carry all original documents for in-person verification. Pay the remaining college fees as per institute norms. Non-reporting cancels your admission.
