JAC Chandigarh Round 1 Seat Allotment 2026 Released: Check Live Updates, Schedule, and Next Steps Here

The Joint Admission Committee (JAC), Chandigarh, has officially released the much-awaited Round 1 seat allotment results for JAC Chandigarh Counselling 2026 today, July 10, 2026. Candidates who successfully registered and locked their preferences can now log in to the official admission portal to check their selection status.

The allotment list has been prepared strictly on the basis of the candidate’s JEE Main 2026 rank, merit position, category-wise reservation policies, and the choices filled during the preference window. This centralized counselling process serves as the single-window gateway for admissions to premium engineering, technology, and architecture institutions across the Union Territory of Chandigarh.

JAC Chandigarh Round 1 Counselling 2026: Important Dates

To ensure you do not lose your hard-earned seat, you must strictly follow the official timeline. Missing a single deadline can lead to the cancellation of your seat allocation. Check the crucial dates below:

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Round 1 Allotment Status

Checking your seat allotment status is simple. Candidates can follow these clear instructions to view their results on the official server:

1. Visit the Official Website: Navigate directly to the authorized counseling portal at jacchd.admissions.nic.in.

2. Locate the Allotment Link: Click on the active notification bar labeled “Round 1 Seat Allotment Result 2026.”

3. Enter Login Credentials: Input your JEE Main 2026 application number, your account password, and the dynamic security pin shown on the screen.

4. Submit and View: Click the ‘Login’ button. Your personalized dashboard will open up, showing your allotted college and engineering branch.

5. Download the Letter: Download your provisional seat allotment letter and print multiple copies for future physical verification rounds.

Mandatory Next Steps for Selected Candidates

Securing a seat in the allotment list is only the first phase. Candidates must perform the following actions before July 13, 2026, to confirm their seat. Failure to do so will result in immediate disqualification from the admission process.

1. Online Payment of Seat Acceptance Fee

Every student who gets a fresh seat allocation in Round 1 must pay a mandatory online seat acceptance fee of Rs. 40,000. You can make this payment using net banking, a credit card, or a debit card through the integrated payment gateway. If you fail to pay this fee within the stipulated timeframe, your seat will be cancelled automatically, and you will be blocked from participating in regular subsequent rounds.

2. Submit Your Willingness Option

While paying the fee, you must submit your choice of willingness. This tells the system how you want to handle your seat:

• Freeze Option: Select this option if you are completely satisfied with the assigned branch and college. Choosing ‘Freeze’ means you lock your seat and will not participate in any upcoming upgrade rounds.

• Float / Upgrade Option: Select this option if you want to accept the current seat but still wish to be considered for a higher-preferred college or branch choice in Round 2. If you do not get an upgrade in Round 2, your Round 1 seat remains safe.

Participating Institutes Under JAC Chandigarh 2026

JAC Chandigarh conducts admissions for highly reputed institutes. The prominent colleges participating in this counselling process include:

• Dr. S.S. Bhatnagar University Institute of Chemical Engineering & Technology (UICET), Panjab University

• University Institute of Engineering & Technology (UIET), Panjab University

• University Institute of Engineering and Technology, Swami Sarvanand Giri Regional Centre (UIET, PUSSGRC), Hoshiarpur

• Chandigarh College of Engineering and Technology (CCET), Sector 26

What If You Didn’t Get a Seat in Round 1?

If your name did not appear on the allocation list today, there is no need to worry. You are automatically eligible to participate in the second round of counselling.

The window to modify, reorder, delete, or add new choices will open fresh from July 15 to July 17, 2026. If you choose not to change anything, the system will carry forward your original Round 1 choice list by default. Keep your academic transcripts, category certificates, and JEE Main scorecard ready for the physical reporting rounds scheduled later this month.
