Minimum qualification (Table-II, UPTAC 2026-27) [1]

B.Pharm, B.Arch, BHMCT, BFAD, BFA and the integrated MBA / MCA have their own rows in Table-II of the brochure (most ask for 10+2 with 45%, 40% for SC/ST); check the exact subjects there. [1]

• No age limit for any course in the counselling.
• Domicile: regular rounds are open to those who passed the qualifying exam from an institution in UP, or whose father or mother is domiciled in UP (with the parent's domicile certificate). Candidates with neither link are considered only in the special round.
• Children of defence personnel posted in or settled in UP and of All India Services officers of the UP cadre are exempt from the domicile rule.
• The qualifying-exam result must be declared by the registration deadline, with no compartment pending in the eligibility subjects. [1]

• Register once on uptac.samarth.edu.in, pay the fee and upload documents — registration is allowed only in this window for the regular rounds.
• Online document verification and replies to any query.
• Fill and lock choices of institute and branch; seats are allotted on merit, preference and category seats.
• Pay the seat confirmation fee (₹20,000 or ₹12,000 as listed in the schedule) and choose Freeze or Float; later rounds allow withdrawal.
• Physically report at the allotted institute; a frozen seat not reported is cancelled without refund. Internal sliding and a special round follow for vacant seats. [2]

Seats are allotted strictly by merit and preference, subject to category seats; once allotted, the institute or branch cannot be changed. [1]

• Counselling registration fee: ₹1,000.
• Fee paid after a seat is allotted is forfeited if the candidate does not report, except on withdrawal within the schedule.
• Tuition fee waiver seats for economically weaker meritorious students: up to 5% over and above the approved intake in B.Tech, BHMCT, BFAD, BFA, B.Des, B.Pharm, MCA and MBA (not B.Arch), with no tuition fee; an income certificate is needed. This is separate from the EWS category, which gets no fee concession. [1]
