UPTAC Counseling 2026 dates started on May 25, 2026. From May 25, 2026 registration for B.Tech courses opened on https://uptac.samarth.edu.in as stated in the official schedule by AKTU, published on May 23, 2026.
For information, usually UPTAC Counseling is started in the month of May every year. It happens 2-4 weeks after the announcement of JEE Main session 2 results and that precisely happened in 2026. Candidates preparing for 2027 admissions should expect a similar May start date, with the exact date announced after JEE Main 2027 results.
The 2026 registration window remained open from 25 May to 15 June 2026, approximately three weeks. This was the only opportunity for registration in regular rounds. Choice filling for Round 1 began on 22 June 2026, followed by six more rounds running through 3 August 2026. Two significant new features introduced at the 2026 start: mandatory APAAR ID verification and a completely new portal address.
