JEECUP Round 4 Counselling: Final Date Today for Fee Payment and Document Verification

The Joint Entrance Examination Council, Uttar Pradesh (JEECUP), has extended the deadline for the final key activities of the Round 4 counselling, providing one last opportunity for polytechnic aspirants to confirm their seats. All candidates who were allotted a seat in the fourth round now have until today, August 5, 2025, to complete the seat acceptance formalities, which include paying the fee and undergoing document verification at a designated help center. The official notification, released on the JEECUP website, jeecup.admissions.nic.in, has clarified the revised schedule, which is critical for all aspirants to follow.

The Round 4 counselling, which began with choice filling in late July and saw its seat allotment result declared on July 31, is part of the second phase of counselling designed for all qualified candidates from Uttar Pradesh and other states. This particular round is a crucial mop-up phase to fill the seats that remained vacant after the first three rounds of counselling. The extension of the deadlines for fee payment and document verification gives candidates a final chance to secure their admission before the process moves to the next stage.

Key Deadlines and What to Do Today

Candidates must be aware of the following deadlines for today, August 5, 2025:

• Seat Acceptance cum Counselling Fee Payment: Candidates must pay the required fee online through their login by 2:00 PM today. Failure to pay this fee will result in the forfeiture of the allotted seat, and the candidate will not be considered for admission in this round.
• Document Verification at District Help Centres: For candidates who choose to "freeze" their allotted seat, physical document verification at the nearest district help center must be completed by 5:00 PM today. Without this verification, the admission process cannot be finalized.
• Seat Withdrawal: Today is also the final day for candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 4 to formally withdraw their admission. This option is available for those who no longer wish to pursue admission through the JEECUP counselling process.

The "freeze" and "float" options, which were made available to candidates after the seat allotment, are a critical part of the process. A candidate who "freezes" their seat commits to the allotted college and branch. A candidate who "floats" accepts the seat but wishes to be considered for a higher preference in the next round. The payment of the seat acceptance fee is mandatory for both options to retain the provisional seat.

Moving to the Next Stage: Round 5

With the Round 4 activities concluding today, the JEECUP counselling process will immediately transition to Round 5. The schedule for the upcoming round has already been released, providing a seamless continuum for aspirants.

• Choice Filling and Locking for Round 5: This process will begin on August 6, 2025, and will continue until August 9, 2025. This is another opportunity for all qualified candidates who have not yet secured a seat to participate.
• Seat Allotment for Round 5: The result for the fifth round is scheduled to be released on August 10, 2025.

The mop-up rounds of JEECUP counselling are traditionally highly competitive as they involve a large pool of candidates vying for a limited number of remaining seats. These rounds are crucial for filling vacancies in both popular and niche branches across various polytechnic institutions in the state. Aspirants are advised to fill a wide range of choices to maximize their chances of securing a seat. All candidates are urged to act promptly today to complete their fee payment and document verification to avoid any last-minute issues and secure their admission for the academic year.
