Published: Sunday, August 2, 2026, 10:36 [IST]

The Uttar Pradesh Technical Admission Counselling (UPTAC) ends Special Round-1 registrations today, August 2. This marks the final chance for students seeking Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University seats. Candidates must complete their registration and pay the seat-confirmation fee on the Samarth portal. This step is vital for those who missed earlier counselling phases.

Fresh candidates with a Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main score can now submit applications. Common University Entrance Test (CUET) students are also invited to join this final round. Those who withdrew from regular rounds in a timely manner remain eligible to participate. Missing this deadline means losing access to top government and private engineering colleges.

UPTAC Special Round-1 Schedule and Choice Filling

After registering, applicants must focus on the choice filling and locking process until August 4. The official seat allotment result will be declared on August 5 based on merit. Successful candidates must report to their assigned institutes between August 6 and August 7. These tight timelines require students to act quickly to secure their academic future.

Event Milestone	Date of Completion
Registration and Fee Payment	August 2
Choice Filling and Locking	August 4
Seat Allotment Result	August 5
Physical Reporting Period	August 6 to 7

Applicants must remember that special rounds often follow an auto-freeze policy for seat allotments. This means once a seat is assigned, it is final and non-refundable in most cases. You should verify all uploaded documents carefully to avoid rejection during the verification process. Current domicile and category certificates will help prevent many last minute admission hurdles.

Important Rules for UPTAC Special Round-1 Seats

Only use the official Samarth portal for all uploads and payments to stay safe. Avoid downloading unofficial PDFs from Telegram or clicking on unknown links for admission alerts. Check that your name and date of birth match your high school certificates exactly. Attention to these small details ensures a smooth entry into your chosen engineering career.

Securing a seat during this special round provides a final path to professional growth. Students should double check their locked choices before the window closes on Sunday. This opportunity helps bridge a gap for those who missed main counseling rounds earlier. Follow all official guidelines strictly to ensure your spot in the upcoming academic session.
