The JCECE 2025 counselling for B.Tech (JEE Main based) sees its Round 2 Merit List released today, July 7, 2025. Simultaneously, Lateral Entry choice filling is ongoing. Stay updated on jceceb.jharkhand.gov.in for document verification and future rounds for your Higher Education in engineering.

The admission landscape for engineering aspirants in Jharkhand is buzzing with activity as the Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (JCECEB) rolls out crucial updates for its various B.Tech admission processes. As of today, July 7, 2025, significant developments are underway for both regular JEE Main-based B.Tech admissions and Lateral Entry engineering programs.

JCECEB conducts admissions to engineering colleges in Jharkhand, primarily utilizing JEE Main 2025 scores for mainstream B.Tech courses. However, for specialized programs like B.Tech Dairy Technology and Agriculture Engineering, the JCECE 2025 exam is the basis for admission. Additionally, the board facilitates Lateral Entry admissions for diploma holders and B.Sc. graduates directly into the second year of B.Tech.

Key Updates for B.Tech Admissions (Based on JEE Main 2025):

For candidates seeking admission to B.Tech courses via their JEE Main 2025 scores, the JCECEB counselling is progressing through its initial rounds:

• Round 1 Document Verification & Admission (Ongoing): Candidates who were allotted seats in the Provisional Seat Allotment Letter released on July 4, 2025, are currently in the process of document verification and admission at their respective institutes. This phase is ongoing from July 5 and will conclude on July 11, 2025.
• Round 2 State Merit List Release (Today!): A significant announcement for Round 2 aspirants: The State Merit List for Round 2 counselling will be published today, July 7, 2025. This list is crucial for candidates who either didn't get a seat in Round 1 or are applying fresh for the second round.
• Upcoming Round 2 Schedule: Following the merit list, the display of vacant seats for Round 2 is slated for July 13, 2025. The choice filling for Round 2 will then commence from July 13 and continue until July 17, 2025.

JCECE Lateral Entry Admissions: Choice Filling Underway!

For diploma holders and B.Sc. graduates aspiring for direct entry into the second year of B.E./B.Tech programs in Jharkhand, the JCECE Lateral Entry counselling is also in a crucial phase:

Choice Filling Window: The online choice filling and registration process for Lateral Entry admissions began on July 4, 2025, and will close on July 8, 2025. Aspirants must log in to jceceb.org.in to submit their preferred college and course choices within this limited timeframe.

Important Notes for All Aspirants:

Official Website: All official updates, schedules, merit lists, and counselling instructions are published exclusively on the JCECEB website: jceceb.jharkhand.gov.in. Candidates are advised to check it regularly.

Document Preparation: Ensure all original documents and their photocopies (including JEE Main scorecard, Class 10th & 12th mark sheets, residential proof, caste certificate if applicable, etc.) are ready for verification. For Lateral Entry, diploma/B.Sc mark sheets are essential.

Counselling Fee: A non-refundable counselling fee of Rs. 400 (for General/BC-I/BC-II categories) or Rs. 250 (for SC/ST/Female candidates) is required.

While the results for the JCECE 2025 exam itself (for B.Tech Dairy Technology and Agriculture Engineering, as well as B.Sc. Agriculture, Forestry, etc.) are expected in July 2025, with counselling to follow, the current focus for most engineering aspirants is on the ongoing JEE Main-based B.Tech and Lateral Entry counselling rounds. Timely participation and adherence to deadlines are critical for securing a seat in one of Jharkhand's engineering colleges for your Higher Education.
