UPTAC 2025 Counselling: Document Verification for JEE-Based BTech Candidates Starts Today

The online document verification for UPTAC 2025 BTech counselling begins today. This article provides a comprehensive guide on the verification process for JEE-based candidates, including required documents and important dates for subsequent rounds.

The Uttar Pradesh Technical Admission Counselling (UPTAC) 2025 process for BTech admissions, based on JEE Main scores, enters a crucial phase today with the commencement of the online document verification for candidates who have registered for the counselling. This is a mandatory and foundational step for all aspirants seeking admission to the various government and private engineering colleges affiliated with Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) and other state universities. Candidates who have successfully completed the registration process are now required to submit their documents for online verification to become eligible for the upcoming seat allotment rounds.

The UPTAC counselling process is an intricate and multi-stage procedure, and document verification serves as the gatekeeper for subsequent stages. The online verification window, which begins today, is designed to confirm the authenticity of the information provided by candidates during registration. This includes checking their academic credentials, reservation claims (e.g., UP domicile, OBC, SC, ST, EWS), and other eligibility criteria. Any discrepancy or error found during this stage can lead to a candidate's ineligibility for the counselling process, highlighting the critical importance of a meticulous approach.

Understanding the Verification Process and Timeline

The document verification process for UPTAC 2025 is being conducted online. Candidates do not need to report physically to any center at this stage. Instead, they must upload scanned copies of all the required documents onto the UPTAC portal. The verification process is carried out by a team of experts appointed by the counselling authority, and it is crucial that the uploaded documents are clear, legible, and in the correct format.

According to the UPTAC 2025 schedule, the document verification window for JEE-based BTech candidates starts today, August 4, 2025. It is a multi-day process, and candidates are typically given a few days to upload their documents. Once the initial verification is done, candidates whose documents have been successfully verified will be eligible to proceed with the next steps, which include choice filling and seat allotment. For candidates where a query is raised regarding a document, they will be given a specific window to respond and re-upload the correct document.

Next Steps After Verification

The UPTAC counselling schedule for Round 2 is currently underway, with choice filling having just concluded. The document verification for candidates participating in the Special Rounds is scheduled later in August. However, for candidates who have completed their initial registration and document submission earlier, this period of verification is crucial. The seat allotment for Round 2 is scheduled for August 5, 2025. Only candidates whose documents have been successfully verified will be considered for seat allotment in the next rounds.

• Round 2 Seat Allotment: The seat allotment for Round 2 will be declared tomorrow, August 5. Candidates who have been allotted a seat will be able to check their status on the official portal.
• Payment of Seat Confirmation Fee: Following the seat allotment, candidates who are happy with their allotted seat must pay the seat confirmation fee online and download their provisional allotment letter. The window for this is from August 5 to August 7, 2025.
• Choice Filling for Round 3: For candidates who do not get a seat in Round 2 or wish to upgrade their choices, the choice locking for Round 3 will take place from August 8 to August 9, 2025.

List of Documents Required
