UPTAC B.Tech Counselling 2025: Revised Dates Unveiled

UPTAC B.Tech Counselling 2025 revised dates are out today, July 21, 2025. Round 1 Choice Filling starts July 24. Engineering aspirants can find the complete schedule, key steps, and essential advice for seat allotment, fee payment, and reporting for admission to engineering colleges in Uttar Pradesh.

The release of the revised dates for UPTAC B.Tech Counselling 2025 provides a clear roadmap for engineering aspirants aiming to secure admission to various B.Tech courses across Uttar Pradesh. The schedule outlines key activities for the initial counselling rounds, allowing candidates to plan their actions meticulously.

Round 1 Choice Filling and Locking (JEE Main Candidates): This critical phase is set to commence on July 24, 2025, and will remain open until July 28, 2025. During this period, engineering aspirants who have successfully completed their registration and document verification must log in to the UPTAC portal and fill their preferred engineering colleges and branches in order of priority. Locking choices before the deadline is crucial to ensure they are considered for seat allotment.

Round 1 Seat Allotment (JEE Main Candidates): The results for Round 1 seat allotment will be declared on July 30, 2025. Candidates will be able to check their provisional allotment status on the official website. This allotment is primarily based on JEE Main 2025 scores and the choices filled by candidates.

Payment for Seat Confirmation & Online Willingness (Round 1): Following the seat allotment, candidates who are satisfied with their allotted seat must pay the seat confirmation fee (₹20,000 for General/OBC and ₹12,000 for SC/ST candidates) between July 30 and August 1, 2025. During this window, aspirants also need to submit their online willingness – choosing "Freeze" (to accept the allotted seat and not participate in further rounds) or "Float" (to accept the allotted seat but wish to be considered for a better option in subsequent rounds).

Key Phases and Critical Steps for Aspirants in UPTAC Counselling 

The UPTAC Counselling process for B.Tech courses is structured into multiple rounds, each with specific deadlines and actions. Understanding these phases is vital for candidates to successfully secure their desired engineering seat.

• Registration and Document Verification: These initial steps, including registration and document verification, concluded for many candidates earlier this month. Only candidates whose documents have been successfully verified are eligible to proceed with choice filling and seat allotment.
• Round 2 Schedule: After Round 1, UPTAC will proceed with Round 2. Online Choice Filling (alteration) and Locking for Round 2 will take place from August 2 to August 3, 2025. The Seat Allotment for Round 2 (for JEE Main candidates only) is scheduled for August 5, 2025. Payment of Seat Confirmation and Online Willingness (Freeze/Float) for Round 2 will be from August 5 to August 7, 2025. An Online Withdrawal option is also available during this period.
• Round 3 Schedule: Round 3 will see Online Choice Locking (a final opportunity to change choices, which will then be carried forward to subsequent rounds, including internal sliding) from August 8 to August 9, 2025. The Seat Allotment for Round 3 (again, for JEE Main candidates only) is on August 11, 2025. Payment of Seat Confirmation and Online Willingness for Round 3 is from August 11 to August 12, 2025. Online Withdrawal is also open during this time.
• Subsequent Rounds: UPTAC will conduct a total of five regular counselling rounds and two special rounds to fill all available B.Tech seats. Candidates are advised to continually monitor the official website for schedules of later rounds and any further updates.

The transparent and systematic approach of UPTAC aims to provide fair admission opportunities to all eligible candidates in Uttar Pradesh.

Essential Advice and Resources for a Smooth Counselling Process 

For engineering aspirants to successfully navigate the UPTAC Counselling process and secure their academic future, careful planning and adherence to guidelines are crucial.

• Meticulous Choice Filling: This is arguably the most critical step. Candidates must carefully research engineering colleges and branches based on their JEE Main ranks, past year cutoffs, faculty quality, infrastructure, and placement records. Filling a comprehensive list of choices in descending order of preference significantly improves the chances of securing a desired seat.
• Adherence to Deadlines: Every deadline in the UPTAC schedule is firm. Missing a date for choice filling, fee payment, or willingness submission can lead to the forfeiture of allotted seats or exclusion from subsequent rounds. Aspirants should set reminders for all important dates.
• Document Readiness: Although document verification may have completed for many, candidates must keep all original documents (mark sheets, JEE Main scorecard, category certificates, domicile, etc.) ready, along with multiple photocopies. These will be required during physical reporting at the allotted institution.
• Official Website as Primary Source: Always rely on the official UPTAC website, uptac.admissions.nic.in, for all information and updates. Beware of unofficial sources that might provide misleading information.
• Understanding Options: Clearly comprehend the implications of "Freeze," "Float," and "Withdrawal" options. "Freeze" implies satisfaction with the allotted seat and final acceptance. "Float" means keeping the allotted seat but hoping for a better option in later rounds. "Withdrawal" means opting out of the counselling process entirely.
