What is UPTAC Seat Acceptance Fee?

After each allotment round, candidates who have received a seat must pay a mandatory seat acceptance fee online to hold their allocated seat during UPTAC counselling. The counselling registration fee of INR 1000 is non-refundable. However, the seat confirmation or acceptance deposit (category-wise) below:

  • General and OBC category - INR 20000
  • SC/ST category - INR 12000

If a candidate wants to stay in the admission process and join the allotted college, this fee is adjusted against the college’s total first-year tuition fee during physical reporting. 

UPTAC Seat Acceptance Fee Refund Policy: Withdrawal Rules

The amount of money refunded depends on when and how you withdraw from the UPTAC counselling process. Candidates appearing for AKTU UPTAC counselling must understand that there are two types of fee structure: 
  • Counselling fee: A non-refundable fee paid at the time of registration to ensure participation

NOTE:
The fee paid at the time of counselling by the candidate, after the UPTAC seat allotment, will be forfeited under any circumstances (except in the case of withdrawal from counselling according to schedule), even if the candidate does not report for admission to allotted institutions. Only candidates who have participated in the round-wise UPTAC counselling and have been allocated a seat are eligible to opt for UPTAC seat acceptance fee refund policy
