UPTAC 2026 BTech Choice Filling Dates Postponed; Revised Schedule Awaited
The Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) has postponed the UPTAC 2026 BTech choice filling process. Candidates who have completed the UPTAC 2026 counselling registration will now have to wait for the revised schedule, which is expected to be announced shortly on the official counselling portal.
Earlier, the choice filling process for BTech admissions was scheduled to begin on July 4, as per the counselling timeline released by the authorities. However, the schedule has now been deferred. AKTU has not yet announced the reason for the postponement, and no fresh dates have been confirmed so far.
Once the revised schedule is released, eligible candidates will be able to log in using their application credentials and fill in their preferred colleges and branches. Candidates are advised to carefully arrange their choices in the order of preference, as seat allotment will be conducted based on the choices filled, JEE Main 2026 rank, category, and seat availability.
Candidates should note that postponement of the choice filling dates does not affect their eligibility for counselling. They will be able to participate once the revised schedule is announced.
