AEEE Counselling Seat Allotment 2026

Seat allotment is the process by which the candidates are allotted programs and campuses based on their AEEE ranks and scores. Before the candidates are allotted a seat, the varsity publishes a trial allotment.

What is trial allotment: Trial allotment is published for the candidates to understand the possibility of getting their highest Academic Preference. To check the trial allotment, candidates can follow the steps below:

Login with your registered email ID and password.
The candidate will receive OTP on their registered mobile number to login and check the trial allotment.

Trial allotment does not guarantee admission or the allotment of the same academic preference in the first allotment since candidates are permitted to change their Academic Preferences after trial allotment. Candidates are allowed to change the Academic Preference if they wish to do so, after checking the Academic Preference allotted in the trial run.

AEEE 2026 Counselling Seat Acceptance

After the allotment of the seats, candidates have to practice seat acceptance. It is the process in which the candidates are allowed to accept or opt for a higher preference. Here are the seat acceptance options available for the candidates:

Option 1: Accepted

This means candidates have accepted the offer made in any of the CSAP rounds. Such candidates have the option to slide to a higher branch OR slide within the allotted branch itself, to a lower fee slab. “ACCEPTED” candidates have to pay INR 1,00,000 as partial tuition fees to opt for sliding. Payment should be made on or before the stipulated date, failing which the admission offer will stand cancelled and the candidate will not be considered for the subsequent rounds in CSAP.

There are three options for sliding:

A candidate is allotted 4th Academic Preference and wants to slide to any of the higher Academic Preferences – 4th / 3rd / 2nd / 1st irrespective of the fee slab.
A candidate allotted 4th Academic Preference with 4th fee slab and wants the same Academic Preference as the one which is allotted but with a lower fee slab.
A candidate is allotted 4th Academic Preference with 2nd fee slab and wants to try higher Academic Preference if and only the fee slab of the probable higher Academic Preference is less than or equal to the currently allotted fee slab. If a higher Academic Preference with lower fees is not available, the software will try to allot a lower fee slab within the currently allotted Academic Preference.

Option 2: Confirmed

Confirmation of the seat is the final stage in CSAP for any candidate. Though the seat is confirmed, they must satisfy the eligibility criteria. Candidate status changes from “ACCEPTED” and “CONFIRMED” in CSAP. Such candidates will then proceed to pay the remaining tuition fees and need not attend succeeding rounds in CSAP.

Option 3: Waiting List

In this case, candidates are not allotted any of the Academic Preferences submitted. Here, candidates need not pay fees until admission is offered in any one of the CSAP rounds. In case of those candidates who are not offered at least one of the Academic Preferences till the last round of seat allotment, the Registration money paid will be refunded. These candidates can change the Academic Preferences already submitted at the time of registration.
