Uttar Pradesh Technical Admission Counselling (UPTAC) 2025 is a counseling process for students seeking admission to technical and professional institutions in the state. Any candidate who has passed JEE (Main) 2025, CUET (UG) 2025, CUET (PG) 2025 and NATA 20225 exam shall be eligible to participate. Seats will be allocated in stages as per the systematic phases of the counselling procedure.
Registration and Document Upload
The first step for applicants is to sign up on the website https://uptac.admissions.nic.in. Applicants have to make a payment of Rs. 1000 as a non-refundable registration fee. After completing registration, they have to upload all required documents for scrutiny by the sanctioned committee of certificate verification. After the process of verification is complete, candidates will get a confirmation message either SMS or email.
Choice Filling and Seat Allotment
Once the documents have been successfully verified online, candidates can select their desired colleges and courses. The system will allot seats based on their rank, category, and availability. The merit results will be available on the official website.
Payment of Seat Acceptance Fee and Confirmation
After seat allotment, candidates must pay the seat acceptance fee to confirm their seat. The fees are as follows:
| Category | Seat Acceptance Fee |
| General/OBC | Rs. 20,000 |
| SC/ST | Rs. 12,000 |
Candidates can choose between the following options:
- Freeze: The candidate accepts the allotted seat and does not wish to participate in further rounds.
- Float: The candidate accepts the seat but is willing to upgrade if a better option becomes available.
If candidates fail to pay the acceptance fee, their seat will be canceled, and they will be disqualified from further participation.
Round-Wise Counselling Process
The UPTAC counselling process includes multiple rounds:
Round 1 (R-1)
- Open to all eligible candidates who register and upload their documents.
- After seat allotment, candidates can select the Freeze or Float option.
Round 2 (R-2)
- Candidates who did not pay the seat acceptance fee in Round 1 or were declared ineligible cannot participate.
- Candidates from Round 1 who chose the Float option or were not allotted a seat can modify their choices.
Round 3 (R-3)
- Candidates who withdrew from earlier rounds or failed to pay the seat acceptance fee are ineligible.
- New candidates who registered in this phase can fill their choices.
Round 4 (R-4)
- Candidates with a Freeze or Float status from earlier rounds are eligible.
- No new choices can be filled; only upgrades are processed.
- All remaining vacant seats are converted to the General (Open) category.
Internal Sliding (R-5)
Internal sliding is applicable only to government and government-aided institutions. Candidates who opted for internal sliding will be considered for seat upgrades within their previously allotted institution based on available vacant seats.
Special Counselling (R-6)
Candidates who did not secure a seat in previous rounds can register for this phase by paying a Rs. 1000 registration fee. Candidates must pay a seat confirmation fee of Rs. 20,000 to participate. This fee is refundable only if no seat is allotted.
Physical Reporting and Admission Confirmation
After Phase 4, all candidates with Freeze or Auto Freeze seats must physically report to their allotted institution to confirm their admission. The reporting schedule and guidelines will be available on the official website. Candidates must pay the institute’s fees directly to complete the admission process.
