Once registered for HSTES counselling 2026, candidates can select their preferred courses and institutes by logging into the official portal. Within their account, they can view seat availability tailored to their specific eligibility and category. Seat allotment is determined by the candidate's rank and the priority of choices submitted. Therefore, it is essential to arrange these preferences strategically, keeping one's rank in mind to maximise the chances of a successful placement.

To select their preferred colleges and courses, candidates must use the "Fill/Modify Choice" option and rank them by priority, ensuring they save their progress. For the best chance of securing a seat, it is recommended to submit as many eligible options as possible.

Once the list is ready, candidates must lock their choices to finalise them for seat allotment. However, choices can be unlocked, edited, or reordered at any time before the official deadline.

HSTES declares the counselling seat allotment result on the official website. After the declaration of the result, the candidate will log in to the counselling website by entering their Roll Number & Password and click on Provisional Seat Allotment result. If a candidate has been allotted a seat then a page showing a provisional seat allotment letter appears which shows the Institute name, branch allotted to a candidate, Allotment Status and reporting duration. Candidate should download Provisional Seat Allotment letter, and should physically report to allotted institute between specified reporting dates for taking admission.

To be considered for a seat upgrade, a candidate must engage in the following round of counselling. After reviewing the terms and conditions, the candidate must select "Accept Participation" and proceed to take part in further counselling. It is recommended that candidates only choose options that are superior to the seat allocated in the previous counselling. Therefore, candidates should prioritise their choices to upgrade. Those who wish to keep their current seat are advised not to participate in subsequent counselling.  If a candidate takes part in the second round of counselling and decides that they should have kept their first counselling seat, they can delete all their choices at that stage to retain their original seat.

The candidates allotted seats and who want to confirm their admission have to physically report to the allotted institute and deposit the semester fee. Also, at the time of reporting documents will be verified, and only after successful verification, the admisison of the candidates will be confirmed.
