The Joint Entrance Examination Council, Uttar Pradesh (JEECUP) has reminded all candidates allotted seats in the third round of counselling for admission to polytechnic and diploma programs that today, July 23, 2026, is the last day to deposit the security amount and counselling fee through the official candidate login portal.
Why This Deadline Matters
Candidates allotted a seat in the third round must complete the online fee payment within the given window to secure their allotted seat. Once the payment is made, candidates are automatically frozen in that seat, meaning they will not be eligible for further seat changes in later rounds unless they opt out through the prescribed process.
Candidates who miss today’s deadline risk losing their allotted seat, which could affect their admission for the current academic session.
