UPTAC 2026 Seat Acceptance Fee

For UPTAC 2026, candidates who are allotted a seat and wish to retain it must pay the Seat Acceptance Fee after selecting the Freeze or Float option.

The seat acceptance fee is paid online through the UPTAC counselling portal after seat allotment. This amount is adjusted against the admission/tuition fee at the time of reporting to the allotted institute. Candidates who fail to pay the fee within the prescribed deadline may lose their allotted seat.

Float, Freeze and Withdrawal Options

After seat allotment, UPTAC 2026 candidates are provided with options to decide whether they want to continue in the counselling process.

• Freeze: Candidates who are satisfied with their allotted seat can choose the freeze option. They will accept the allotted seat and will not participate in further rounds.
• Float: Candidates who want to retain their current seat while also trying for a higher-preference choice in upcoming rounds can select the float option.
• Withdrawal: Candidates who do not wish to continue with the counselling process can withdraw according to the rules mentioned by UPTAC.

Candidates should select these options carefully, as their choice determines their participation in subsequent counselling rounds.
