UPTAC B.Tech Counselling 2025: Registration Extended to July 15; Choice Filling Begins Tomorrow!

The UPTAC B.Tech Counselling 2025 registration deadline is extended to July 15, 2025. Crucially, Round 1 choice filling begins tomorrow, July 10, and concludes on July 12. Prepare your choices for AKTU and other state university admissions for your Higher Education.

In a significant update for thousands of engineering aspirants seeking admission to B.Tech programs in Uttar Pradesh, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU), the nodal agency for the Uttar Pradesh Technical Admission Counselling (UPTAC 2025), has announced an extension to the counselling registration deadline. Candidates now have until July 15, 2025, to complete their registration for first-year and second-year undergraduate courses across AKTU-affiliated colleges and other participating state universities.

This extension provides a crucial window for students who may have missed the previous deadline, ensuring more aspirants can participate in the UPTAC 2025 counselling process. However, while the registration period offers some breathing room, candidates must note that a more immediate and critical phase is set to begin: Round 1 choice filling will commence tomorrow, July 10, 2025.

The UPTAC counselling is the centralized admission process for various B.Tech programs, including those based on JEE Main 2025 scores and other relevant entrance examinations. It is a comprehensive procedure designed to streamline admissions into a wide array of engineering colleges across Uttar Pradesh, making it a pivotal event for engineering aspirants in the state.

Extended Registration Deadline and How to Apply:

The extended deadline for UPTAC B.Tech Counselling Registration 2025 is now July 15, 2025. Aspiring students who have not yet registered should utilize this opportunity to secure their participation. The registration process is entirely online and involves several key steps:

1. Initial Registration: Candidates need to register using their JEE Main 2025 application number (or the application number of the applicable qualifying entrance exam), along with essential personal details such as their name, mother's name, date of birth, and gender.
2. Password Creation: Create a unique UPTAC counselling password for secure login and future access to the portal.
3. Detail Submission: Provide all necessary academic and personal details as required in the application form. This may include educational qualifications, contact information, and other relevant data.
4. Document Upload: Upload scanned copies of all required documents. While the exact list of documents is usually specified in the official brochure, common requirements include mark sheets of Class 10th and 12th, JEE Main 2025 scorecard, category certificates (if applicable), domicile certificate, and passport-sized photographs. Ensuring documents are in the correct format and size is crucial.
5. Counselling Fee Payment: Complete the registration by paying the prescribed counselling fee. This payment can typically be made online via net banking, debit card, or credit card. It is essential to keep a transaction receipt for future reference.

Only candidates who successfully complete all these steps, including payment, by July 15, 2025, will be considered for seat allotment in the subsequent rounds.

Crucial Phase: Choice Filling for Round 1 Begins Tomorrow!

Even with the extended registration, the most immediate and impactful event for registered candidates is the Round 1 choice filling process, which is scheduled to run from July 10 to July 12, 2025. This narrow window requires prompt action and strategic decision-making.

• Pre-Requisite: Candidates can only fill in their choices of engineering branches and institutes after their documents have been successfully verified. While specific dates for document verification were not provided in the recent notification, it is implied that this process must be completed prior to or alongside the choice filling.
• Strategic Choice Filling: This is a critical stage where aspirants will log into their counselling portal and select their preferred B.Tech programs and colleges in a prioritized order. It is highly recommended to:
• Research Thoroughly: Understand the reputation, faculty, infrastructure, and placement records of various colleges.
• Analyze Previous Year's Cutoffs: While not definitive, analyzing previous year's cutoffs for different branches and colleges can provide a realistic idea of admission possibilities based on one's JEE Main rank.
• Prioritize Wisely: List your most desired college-course combinations at the top, followed by other options in descending order of preference. Consider a mix of dream options and more realistic ones to maximize your chances.
• Fill Multiple Choices: Fill as many choices as you are genuinely interested in. This increases the probability of seat allotment.
• Locking Choices: After filling in choices, candidates must 'lock' them by the deadline of July 12, 2025. Once choices are locked, no further modifications can be made. It is imperative to review choices carefully before this final step.

Upcoming Seat Allotment for Round 1:

Following the completion of choice filling, the seat allotment result for Round 1 is scheduled to be released on July 14, 2025. This result will indicate the provisional college and branch allotted to each candidate based on their rank, choices, and applicable reservation criteria.

After the seat allocation, candidates will have options to either 'freeze' their seat (accept the allotted seat and not participate in further rounds for an upgrade) or 'float' their seat (accept the allotted seat but wish to be considered for an upgrade in subsequent rounds). Both options typically require the payment of a seat acceptance fee within a specified timeframe.

Engineering aspirants must keep a close watch on the official UPTAC website (uptac.admissions.nic.in or similar portals linked from aktu.ac.in) for all subsequent announcements regarding document verification (if a separate schedule is released), seat acceptance, physical reporting, and further rounds of counselling. Timely action and adherence to all deadlines are paramount for a successful Higher Education journey in Uttar Pradesh's engineering colleges.
