The Uttar Pradesh Technical Admission Counselling (UPTAC) has officially released the results for the third round of seat allotment for the 2026 academic session. Candidates who participated in the counselling process can now access their allotment status directly on the official UPTAC portal, uptac.samarth.edu.in. The announcement, made on October 20, 2026, marks a significant step for thousands of applicants seeking admission to various technical and professional courses across Uttar Pradesh.

The Round 3 allotment is crucial for many candidates who may not have secured their preferred seats in earlier rounds or are participating for the first time in this stage of the counselling process. The results dictate admissions into undergraduate and postgraduate programs, including Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech), Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm), Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch), Master of Business Administration (MBA), and Master of Computer Applications (MCA), among others. These programs are offered by institutions affiliated with Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) and other state universities within Uttar Pradesh.

To view their seat allotment, candidates are required to log in to the UPTAC website using their application number and password. Upon successful login, the allotment letter detailing the allocated institute and course will be displayed. It is mandatory for candidates to carefully review the details and proceed with the subsequent steps within the stipulated deadlines to confirm their admission.

Following the announcement, candidates must adhere to a defined timeline for post-allotment procedures. These steps are critical for securing the allotted seat and include acceptance of the seat, payment of the prescribed fee, and completion of document verification. Failure to comply with these requirements by the specified dates may result in the forfeiture of the allotted seat.

Key dates and procedures for candidates after the Round 3 seat allotment include:

  • Seat Acceptance and Fee Payment: Candidates must accept their allotted seat and pay the requisite seat acceptance fee online between October 21, 2026, and October 24, 2026. This fee is often non-refundable and confirms a candidate's intention to proceed with admission.
  • Document Verification: Online document verification for candidates who have accepted their seats is scheduled from October 25, 2026, to October 27, 2026. Candidates are advised to ensure all necessary documents are prepared and uploaded correctly as per UPTAC guidelines.
  • Withdrawal Option: The option for candidates to withdraw their admission from Round 3 will be available until October 26, 2026. This allows candidates to opt out if they no longer wish to pursue the allotted seat.
  • Internal Slide/Freeze Option: For candidates who have paid their fees and completed document verification, the option to participate in an internal slide within the institution or freeze their current seat will be available on October 28, 2026.

UPTAC counselling is conducted annually to streamline the admission process for various technical courses in Uttar Pradesh. The results of each round significantly impact the academic trajectory of numerous students across the state. Candidates are strongly advised to regularly check the official UPTAC website for any further updates or announcements regarding subsequent counselling rounds or admission processes.
