Seat Acceptance Fee Details
Candidates allotted seats under UCEED 2026 must pay the prescribed seat acceptance fee to confirm their admission.
The fee structure is as follows:
- General, EWS and OBC-NCL candidates: тВ╣60,000
- SC, ST and PwD candidates: тВ╣15,000
The amount paid as the seat acceptance fee will be adjusted against the institute admission fee at the time of final admission. Failure to pay the fee before the deadline will lead to cancellation of the allotted seat.
Understanding Freeze and Float Options
During the seat acceptance process, candidates are required to choose either the ‘Freeze’ or ‘Float’ option.

Float Option
Candidates selecting the Float option accept the currently allotted seat but remain eligible for upgradation to a higher preferred institute in subsequent rounds, subject to availability of seats.
Students are advised to carefully evaluate their choices before selecting either option as it may impact their admission prospects in later rounds.
