Thousands of engineering and technical aspirants across Punjab and neighboring states reached a major milestone today as I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University (IKGPTU), Kapurthala, is set to publish the Round 3 Seat Allotment Result.
This third phase of centralized online counselling serves as a critical opportunity for candidates seeking undergraduate engineering (B.Tech) and allied technical seats that remained vacant after the initial two admission cycles. Candidates who locked their preferred courses and choices during the Round 3 window can now verify their admission status online by visiting the official portal at counselling.ptu.ac.in.

How the Seat Allocation Works
The allocation process for Round 3 relies on a multi-tiered merit standard. For primary undergraduate engineering courses (B.Tech), seats are allocated according to JEE Main 2026 scores, followed by Class 12 inter-se merit where applicable.
University authorities factor in four main variables to determine each student’s result:
-
The rank secured in competitive examinations.
-
The specific list of choices saved and locked by the candidate.
-
Category reservation policies under Punjab government rules.
-
Total vacant seats left across participating government and private institutions.
