Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) has released the Uttar Pradesh Technical Admission Counselling (UPTAC) round 3 seat allotment results for 2026. Candidates who appeared for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) can now check their B.Tech, BDes, MTech, and integrated course seat allotments on the official UPTAC portal. The results are available at uptac.samarth.edu.in, where students must log in using their registration number or email ID and password.
After viewing their seat allotment, candidates have until August 1, 2026, to decide whether to freeze, float, or withdraw their allotted seat. Those who accept the seat must also pay the seat acceptance fee by this deadline to confirm their admission.
Understanding UPTAC and Its Role in Technical Admissions
UPTAC is the centralized counselling process conducted by AKTU to allocate seats in various technical courses across participating institutes in Uttar Pradesh. It primarily serves candidates who have qualified through the JEE Main examination. The counselling rounds allow students to select institutes and branches based on their ranks and preferences.
The process involves multiple rounds of seat allotment, with each round giving candidates the opportunity to accept or reject their allotted seats. This system ensures a fair and transparent distribution of seats among thousands of aspirants seeking admission in engineering, design, and postgraduate technical programs.

Why Timely Action Is Crucial for Candidates
For students participating in UPTAC counselling, adhering to deadlines is essential to secure admission. Missing the payment or choice submission deadlines can result in losing the allotted seat. The option to freeze a seat confirms acceptance, while floating allows candidates to wait for a better seat in subsequent rounds without losing their current allotment.
With the fourth round approaching, candidates who have not yet secured their preferred seats still have a chance to improve their placement. However, the auto-freeze nature of round 4 means that seats allotted then will be automatically accepted, so candidates must be prepared to commit.
Completing the payment and reporting formalities within the specified dates ensures a smooth admission process. It also helps institutes plan their intake and manage seat availability efficiently.
