IPU Counselling 2026 Process

IPU counselling 2026 is a fully online, centralised seat allocation process completed in five stages. Each stage has a fixed deadline — missing any one of them results in loss of eligibility for that round.

Stage 1: Registration and Document Upload 

Candidates register on ipu.admissions.nic.in using their JEE Main, IPU CET, or CLAT credentials. B.Tech, LLM, and LLB candidates pay the non-refundable Rs. 2,500 counselling fee. All candidates upload educational and category documents during this stage.

Stage 2: Choice Filling

Candidates fill college–programme preferences in order of priority. This step is compulsory — no choices means no allotment. Candidates can fill up to 50 preferences and modify them any number of times before the deadline. The system uses the last saved preference order at close.

Stage 3: Seat Allotment 

GGSIPU processes all registered candidates' ranks and preferences and publishes round-wise seat allotment result on the portal. Allotment is based on JEE Main rank (B.Tech), IPU CET rank (other programmes), preference order, domicile category, and seat availability.

Stage 4: Respond to Allotment (Freeze, Float, or Withdraw) 

Allotted candidates must respond within the stipulated deadline. Freezing confirms the seat. Floating retains the current seat while keeping the candidate eligible for a higher preference in the next round. Withdrawing cancels the seat permanently.

Stage 5: Fee Payment and College Reporting 

Candidates who freeze must pay the admission fee online and report to their allotted college for document verification within the reporting window. Admission is confirmed only after successful verification.

Candidates who float move into Round 2 and the Sliding Round, repeating Stages 3 and 4 until they freeze or exhaust available rounds. Read more about GGSIPU Admission 2026

GGSIPU B.Tech Counselling 2026

B.Tech is the most sought-after programme in GGSIPU counselling. Admission to B.Tech (Code 131) is based entirely on JEE Main 2026 Paper I rank — IPU CET is not applicable for this programme.

GGSIPU's B.Tech seats are distributed across its own University School of ICT (USICT) and 40+ affiliated engineering colleges in Delhi NCR. Allotment depends on four factors in this order: JEE Main All India Rank, date of birth (older candidate preferred in case of tie), random draw if still tied, and the candidate's submitted preference order.

Delhi vs non-Delhi quota: B.Tech seats are split between Delhi domicile candidates and non-Delhi (All India) candidates. Delhi domicile candidates have a significant advantage — closing ranks for the same branch and college are typically much lower under the Delhi quota. Candidates with Delhi domicile should fill choices under both quotas wherever available.

Who is not eligible: Candidates with compartment or supplementary exams pending on the date of registration are not eligible. Eligibility is restored only after qualifying the exam, subject to the registration window being open.

How to Register for IPU Counselling 2026

Registration for GGSIPU centralised online counselling 2026 is open at ipu.admissions.nic.in. The process differs slightly depending on whether you are applying through a national-level test (B.Tech, LLM, LLB) or IPU CET.

For B.Tech, LLM, and LLB candidates (National Level Test):

These candidates must complete fresh registration along with fee payment.

1. Go to official admission portal of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) at ipu.admissions.nic.in. 
2. Click on IPU Registration 2026 on the Candidate Activity Board
3. Log in with your JEE Main 2026 application number (B.Tech) or CLAT credentials (LLM/LLB), enter details exactly as submitted to NTA/Consortium
4. Fill in personal and academic details; verify all auto-fetched information carefully
5. Upload Class 12 marksheet, educational testimonials, and reserved category documents
6. Pay the Rs. 2,500 non-refundable counselling fee via net banking, debit/credit card, or UPI
7. Save the payment confirmation receipt and the registration is complete only after successful payment

For CET-qualified candidates (BCA, BBA, B.Ed, B.Com (H), BA JMC, LE B.Tech, BA English/Economics):

These candidates have already applied through IPU CET 2026 and do not pay the Rs. 2,500 fee — they only need to enrol and upload documents.

1. Go to ipu.admissions.nic.in → click IPU Registration 2026
2. Log in with your IPU CET 2026 application number and credentials
3. Verify your details and upload educational testimonials and category documents
4. Submit enrolment — no fee payment required

Important for all candidates: Enter your name, date of birth, and father's name exactly as on your JEE/CET/CLAT portal. Mismatches are the most common cause of registration failures. Candidates with compartment or supplementary exams pending are not eligible until they qualify.

How to Fill Choices in IPU Counselling 2026

Choice filling is compulsory to be eligible for the IPU seat allotment. Candidates who register but do not fill choices receive no seat allotment in any round. 

1. Log in to ipu.admissions.nic.in after registration is confirmed
2. Click Choice Filling on the dashboard
3. Search for colleges and programmes; add them to your preference list
4. Arrange choices in strict order of preference — the system allocates your highest achievable option in each round
5. Fill the maximum possible choices — there is no penalty for listing more options and it significantly improves allotment chances
6. Save and confirm choices before June 17, 11:59 PM — the system locks saved choices at the deadline automatically

Correction window: Candidates can edit uploaded documents and correct permissible fields on the application form until June 17 at 11:59 PM under the Correction/Edit window on the portal.

GGSIPU Counselling Seat Allotment 2026

After choice filling closes, GGSIPU will process and publish the Round 1 seat allotment on ipu.admissions.nic.in. The allotment date will be notified on the official website, candidates should check the portal regularly after June 17.

Once Round 1 allotment is declared, each candidate must choose one of three responses within the stipulated deadline:

Candidates who do not respond within the Round 1 deadline forfeit their seat and are excluded from subsequent rounds.

GGSIPU Counselling Cutoff 2026

GGSIIPU cutoff 2026 will be published at ipu.admissions.nic.in after Round 1 allotment. The tables below show 2025 closing ranks, the best available reference for filling choices. If your rank is better (lower number) than the 2025 closing rank, that choice is realistic. Cutoffs typically relax 20–30% between Round 1 and Round 3 as seats vacate, factor this in when floating.

B.Tech Cutoff 2025 — JEE Main Closing Rank (General Category, Round 1)
