How to Register for UBTER JEEP Counselling 2026
JEEP counselling is fully online — no need to visit any centre for registration. Follow these steps:
Step 1 – Visit the Official Portal Go to www.ubterjeep.co.in or www.ubter.in and click on the Counselling / Admission link when it becomes active.
Step 2 – Log In with Your Credentials Use your JEEP 2026 Roll Number and Date of Birth to log in. These are the same credentials used when you downloaded your admit card.
Step 3 – Verify Your Details Check that your name, category, date of birth, and reservation category are correctly displayed. If there is any discrepancy, contact UBTER before proceeding.
Step 4 – Pay the Counselling Fee Pay the counselling fee online (Net Banking / Debit Card / Credit Card). The fee is included in the original application fee paid at the time of registration — no separate fee is charged at most stages. Check the official notification for any additional counselling-specific fee if applicable.
Step 5 – Fill College and Course Preferences (Choice Filling) Select your preferred institutes and programmes in order of priority. This is covered in detail in the next section.
Step 6 – Lock Your Choices Once satisfied, lock your choices before the deadline. Locked choices cannot be changed.
Step 7 – Wait for Seat Allotment After the choice filling window closes, UBTER processes seat allotment based on your merit rank, category, and choices.
Choice Filling – How to Fill Your College Preferences
Choice filling is the most critical step in UBTER JEEP counselling. Your seat depends entirely on the combination of your merit rank and the order you fill your preferences.
How choice filling works:
- You can add as many institutes and branches as you want, in order of your preference
- The system assigns you the best available option from your list, based on your merit rank
- If your top choice isn’t available due to your rank, the system moves to your next preference
- Once a seat is allotted, you cannot add new choices in the same round
Tips for filling choices:
- Add at least 10–15 institute-branch combinations to avoid going unallotted
- Always put your truly preferred institute at the top — the system will not give you a lower preference if a higher one is available
- Research the college list in advance — download the official [college list PDF] from the UBTER website, which lists all affiliated polytechnics with their branch codes
Group-wise choice filling: JEEP 2026 has four groups — E (Engineering), P (Pharmacy), T (Textile/Fashion), and A (Lateral Entry). If you applied for more than one group, you must fill choices separately for each group. Seat allotment is independent across groups.
Seat Allotment – How It Works
UBTER allocates seats through a computerised merit-based process. Here is the logic:
Merit List Preparation: Your rank is determined by your JEEP 2026 total score. In case of a tie (two candidates with equal marks), the following tie-breaking order is applied:
| Priority | Tie-Breaker |
| 1st | Date of Birth (older candidate ranked higher) |
| 2nd | Marks in Mathematics |
| 3rd | Marks in Science / Chemistry |
| 4th | Marks in Biology |
| 5th | Secretary, UBTER decides |
Seat Reservation for JEEP 2026:
| Category | Vertical Reservation |
| Scheduled Caste (SC) | 19% |
| Scheduled Tribe (ST) | 4% |
| Other Backward Class (OBC) | 14% |
| Economically Weaker Section (EWS) | 10% |
| Women | 30% (horizontal) |
Additional horizontal reservation is available for: Physically Handicapped (4%), Ex-Servicemen / Martyr dependents (5%), Freedom Fighter dependents (2%), and NCC certificate holders (bonus marks of 1%, 2%, or 3% added to score for C, B, and A certificates respectively).
Important: Reservation benefits are available only to permanent residents of Uttarakhand. If you are claiming any reservation category, you must present a valid certificate from a competent authority at the time of document verification. Failure to present the certificate will cancel your allotment.
After getting your rank card, comparing it against previous year cut-offs helps you estimate which institutes are within your reach — check the [expected category-wise cut off trends](anchor text only — link when cut off page is published) once that page is live.
Counselling Rounds – Round 1, Round 2, and Spot Counselling
UBTER JEEP typically conducts two to three rounds of counselling:
- Round 1 (First Counselling): Open to all registered candidates. Seats are allotted based on merit and choices. After Round 1 allotment, candidates must pay the admission fee and report to the allotted institute.
- Round 2 (Second Counselling): Conducted for seats that remained vacant after Round 1 reporting. Candidates who were not allotted a seat in Round 1, or those who did not report, can participate. If you received a Round 1 seat and want to upgrade, check whether UBTER allows simultaneous participation — this varies by year.
- Spot Counselling: If seats remain vacant after Round 2, spot counselling is held. This is a physical process where candidates appear in person. Spot counselling dates and venue are announced separately.
- Can you change institute after admission? No. Institute or programme transfer after admission is not allowed under any circumstances, as per the official JEEP 2026 brochure. If you want to change, you must participate in the 2nd or 3rd round counselling through the proper process with a relieving certificate from the previous institute. No direct transfer is permitted.

- Get a Fee Receipt — this is your proof of admission
