The JEECUP 2026 counselling process has moved into its third round, with choice filling for Round 3 opening today, 16 July 2026. The Joint Entrance Examination Council, Uttar Pradesh (JEECUP) has activated the choice filling link at jeecup.admissions.nic.in for candidates who are eligible to participate in this round. As with earlier rounds, Round 3 remains restricted to Uttar Pradesh domicile candidates, since Rounds 4 and 5 are the ones opened up to applicants from other states.
JEECUP 2026 Round 3 Choice Filling: Key Dates
According to the official schedule, the Round 3 choice filling and modification window is open from 16 July to 17 July 2026. Candidates who already have an existing choice list from previous rounds can revise, reorder, or lock their preferences within this two-day window. The seat allotment result for this round is expected on 20 July 2026, followed by fee payment from 21 to 23 July and document verification from 21 to 24 July. The seat withdrawal deadline for Round 3 has been set for 25 July 2026.
Direct Link and Steps to Fill JEECUP Round 3 Choices
Candidates can complete the process by following these steps on the official JEECUP counselling 2026 portal:
- Visit the official website, jeecup.admissions.nic.in.
- Log in using the registered application number and password.
- Click on the JEECUP Round 3 choice filling link.
- Add, remove, or rearrange preferred colleges and branches.
- Review the complete choice list carefully before proceeding.
- Lock and submit the choices before the deadline.
- Download and save the confirmation page for future reference.
It is worth noting that once the choice locking deadline passes, no further edits or changes are permitted under any circumstances, so candidates are advised not to wait until the last moment.
Documents and Fee Details
Candidates who receive a seat allotment after Round 3 will need to pay a seat acceptance fee, which is later adjusted against the admission fee at the allotted institute. For document verification, candidates should keep their rank card, admit card, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, passport-size photographs, and a valid photo ID ready. Candidates who do not report for verification within the given schedule risk disqualification from the round, along with cancellation of their allotted seat.
