Step-by-Step Guide: How to Check Seat Allocation Status

Candidates can follow these steps to verify their allotment on the candidate portal:

1. Visit Official Website: Go to uptac.samarth.edu.in.
2. Access Candidate Login: Click on the Candidate Login tab.
3. Enter Credentials: Provide your Application Number (JEE Main / CUET / NATA) and Password.
4. View Allotment Dashboard: Click on Round 2 Seat Allotment Status.
5. Select Willingness & Pay SAF: Choose Freeze or Float and complete the online fee payment.
6. Download Allotment Letter: Download and save the provisional allotment letter for physical reporting.

Post-Allotment Options: Freeze vs Float Rule

After checking your result, you must select an online willingness option before the deadline:

• 1. FREEZE (Lock Current Allotment)
  • Choose Freeze if you are fully satisfied with your allotted institute and branch.
  • Effect: Your seat is permanently locked, and you will not participate in further standard upgrade rounds.
• 2. FLOAT (Retain & Upgrade)
  • Choose Float if you want to keep your current Round 2 seat safe while remaining eligible for a higher preference choice in Round 3 or Round 4.
  • Effect: If upgraded in Round 3, your Round 2 seat is automatically released and allotted to another candidate. If not upgraded, your Round 2 seat remains secure.

Crucial Note: Both Freeze and Float candidates are required to pay the online Seat Acceptance Fee (SAF). Non-payment will lead to immediate cancellation of the allotted seat and exit from standard counselling rounds.

Round 2 Sub-Category Seat Conversion Rules

During Round 2 seat allotment, AKTU enforces a dynamic sub-category conversion mechanism to prevent seats from remaining unallocated:

1. Primary Merit Run: Seats are first allocated according to overall rank and specified horizontal sub-categories (e.g., Girl Quota [GL], Freedom Fighter [FF], Physically Handicapped [PH], Armed Forces [AF]).
2. Horizontal to Parent Category: Unfilled horizontal reservation seats revert to their respective vertical parent categories:
   • Open General (GL/FF/PH) -> Open General (OP)
   • OBC (GL/FF/PH) -> OBC
   • SC (GL/FF/PH) -> SC
   • EWS (GL/FF/PH) -> EWS
3. Vertical Category Reservation: Vertical reservation seats (SC, ST, OBC, EWS) are not converted to open general seats in Round 2. Conversion across vertical categories occurs only during later Special/Spot rounds.

Essential Documents Required for Physical Reporting (July 27 – 29)

Candidates reporting physically to their allotted institutes must bring original documents along with two self-attested photocopy sets:

1. UPTAC Provisional Seat Allotment Letter
2. Seat Acceptance Fee Payment Receipt
3. Entrance Exam Scorecard & Admit Card (JEE Main / CUET / NATA 2026)
4. Class 10 Mark Sheet & Certificate (Proof of Date of Birth)
5. Class 12 Mark Sheet & Passing Certificate
6. Domicile Certificate of UP (If qualifying examination was completed outside UP)
7. Category Certificate (OBC-NCL / SC / ST / EWS) issued on or after April 1, 2026
8. Transfer Certificate (TC) / Migration Certificate & Character Certificate
9. Medical Fitness Certificate (As per official UPTAC format)
10. Recent Passport-size Photographs (6–8 copies)

Common Mistakes Made by Candidates

• Delaying SAF Payment: Waiting until the final hours often leads to online payment gateway failures or bank server downtime.
• Confusing ‘Float’ with ‘Withdrawal’: Selecting Float keeps your existing seat safe while upgrading. Requesting an online withdrawal forfeits your seat entirely.
• Uploading Outdated Category Certificates: Category certificates (OBC-NCL / EWS) issued prior to April 1 of the current financial year are invalid for reservation benefits and shift candidates to the Open General pool.
• Not Reviewing Preference Choice Ordering: Leaving an unwanted option above your current seat while opting for Float may result in an automatic upgrade to a less preferred branch in Round 3.

Parents’ Top Questions & Clarifications

• Is the ₹20,000 / ₹12,000 Seat Acceptance Fee deducted from the annual college fee?
  • Yes. The SAF amount paid directly to UPTAC is transferred to your final allotted institute and adjusted against your first-year tuition fees.
• Do we need to pay the SAF fee again if my child gets upgraded in Round 3?
  • No. The SAF is a one-time payment. It automatically rolls over to any newly upgraded college or branch in subsequent rounds.
• What if no seat was allotted to my child in Round 2?
  • You do not need to pay any SAF at this stage. Your profile automatically moves to Round 3 for evaluation against available vacancies.
• How can we claim a refund if we choose to withdraw from UPTAC counselling?
  • You must submit a formal Online Withdrawal Request on the UPTAC dashboard within the specified window (July 25–26). Refunds are processed back to the source account after standard administrative deductions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q2. What happens if I miss the fee payment deadline on July 26?
