JAC Chandigarh Counselling 2026: Round 2 Choice Filling Begins Today for BTech and BE Admissions
The Joint Admission Committee (JAC), Chandigarh, has commenced the Round 2 choice filling and locking process for admissions to undergraduate engineering programmes for the 2026-27 academic session.
Candidates participating in the counselling process can now submit and lock their preferred college and course choices through the official JAC Chandigarh counselling portal from July 15 to July 17, 2026.
The Round 2 counselling process is being conducted for admission to Bachelor of Technology (BTech) and Bachelor of Engineering (BE) programmes offered by participating institutions under JAC Chandigarh. Candidates are advised to carefully review their options and arrange their preferences strategically before the choice-locking deadline.
Round 2 Choice Filling Process Begins
The choice filling window allows candidates to modify, reorder, add, or remove their preferred institutes and courses before final submission. Once the choice-locking period ends, no further changes will be permitted for Round 2.
The seat allotment will be prepared based on several factors, including:
- JEE Main merit rank
- Candidate's category
- Choices filled during counselling
- Availability of seats
- Reservation policies applicable to participating institutes
Candidates should ensure that they lock their final choices before the deadline to avoid automatic submission of incomplete preferences.
