JEECUP Counselling 2026: Round 2 Choice Filling Begins; Check Last Date and Steps

The Joint Entrance Examination Council, Uttar Pradesh, has officially started the online choice-filling and modification window for the JEECUP Round 2 Counselling 2026. Qualified UP Polytechnic candidates and those who opted for the “Float” option in Round 1 can now submit or update their college and course preferences.

The choice-filling link is active on the official website: jeecup.admissions.nic.in. Candidates must complete this step quickly, as the window remains open for only a few days.

JEECUP Round 2 Counselling 2026: Key Dates

Staying updated with the official timeline ensures you do not miss out on your preferred polytechnic seat. The full schedule for the second round of UP Polytechnic admissions is detailed below:

Crucial Warning: The deadline to submit your online preferences is July 9, 2026. If you do not lock your choices before the portal closes, your preferences will be automatically locked based on your last saved data.

Steps to Complete JEECUP Round 2 Choice Filling

The choice-filling process is conducted entirely online. To submit your preferred colleges and diploma streams, follow these simple steps:

1. Visit the Official Website: Navigate to the JEECUP admission portal at jeecup.admissions.nic.in.

2. Log In to Candidate Dashboard: Click on the active link for Round 2 Choice Filling. Enter your JEECUP 2026 Application Number, Password, and the security pin shown on the screen.

3. Access the Choice Filling Section: Once logged in, click on the “Choice Filling and Locking” tab on your dashboard.

4. Select Course and College Preferences: Filter and choose options from the list of available government, aided, and private polytechnic institutes. Organize your options in order of your highest priority.

5. Review and Lock Choices: Double-check your list carefully. You can add, remove, or rearrange choices. Once satisfied, click on “Lock Choices” and submit.

6. Save a Copy: Download and print out your locked choice summary page for future admission references.

What Happens After Choice Filling?

After the choice-filling window closes, the council will process the inputs alongside your UP Polytechnic state rank and category to generate the Round 2 Seat Allotment Result on July 10, 2026.

Once the results are out, candidates will have to log in to choose between the Freeze and Float options. Selecting “Freeze” means you accept the allotted seat and want to lock it. Choosing “Float” means you are accepting the seat for now but want to be considered for a better-preferred college or branch in Round 3.

To secure your seat, you must deposit a seat acceptance cum counselling fee of Rs 3,000 online between July 11 and July 13, 2026. This must be followed by physical document verification at your designated District Help Centre by July 14, 2026. Failure to pay the fee or complete document verification within the window will result in the immediate cancellation of your allotted seat.

Documents Required for Verification

When visiting the help centre, keep original copies and photocopies of the following documents ready:

• JEECUP 2026 Rank Card and Admit Card

• Class 10 and 12 Marksheets/Certificates

• Round 2 Seat Allotment Letter

• Category/Caste Certificate (if applicable)

• Domicile Certificate of Uttar Pradesh

• Valid Photo ID Proof (Aadhaar Card, etc.)

• Passport-size Photographs

Make sure all your certificates are current and valid to ensure a smooth verification process.
