Who Can Register for IPU BTech 2026 Round 2 Counselling?
IPU BTech Round 2 counselling generally allows two categories of candidates to participate:
- Candidates who registered for Round 1 but did not receive a seat allotment, and vacant seats are now available for allotment.
- Candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 1 and chose the "Float" option (as opposed to "Freeze"), making them eligible for an upgraded seat in Round 2.
Candidates who chose to freeze their Round 1 seat are generally not part of further seat-upgrade rounds, as freezing confirms final acceptance of the allotted seat. Candidates should verify their specific status by logging into their counselling account, as exact rules can vary by category and programme.
IPU BTech 2026 Round 2 Counselling Fee
Based on the fee structure notified for IPU BTech counselling, candidates participating in the counselling process are required to pay a non-refundable counselling fee. As per the official notification for the counselling process:
- Requisite Fee: Rs. 1,500
- Participation Fee: Rs. 1,000
- Total: Rs. 2,500
Candidates who have already paid the counselling fee during Round 1 registration are typically not required to pay it again for Round 2, unless specifically stated otherwise in the official Round 2 notification. The fee can be paid online via credit card, debit card, or net banking, or offline through an Indian Bank challan, as per the payment modes specified on the official portal.
Eligibility Criteria for IPU BTech 2026
- Candidates must have a valid JEE Main 2026 Paper 1 score/rank for admission to most BTech programmes offered by GGSIPU and its affiliated institutes.
- Admission to BTech Biotechnology is based on the IPU CET 2026 merit list, since a separate entrance test is conducted for this programme.

IPU BTech Counselling Rounds: What Comes After Round 2?
GGSIPU conducts IPU BTech counselling in multiple stages. Here is how the process typically flows after Round 2:
| Round | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Round 1 | First seat allotment based on JEE Main rank and choice filling. Candidates may freeze, float, or withdraw. |
| Round 2 | Re-allotment of seats vacated after Round 1, plus upgrade opportunities for candidates who chose "Float." |
| Round 3 (Sliding Round) | Internal upgrade round for candidates who already have an allotted seat and wish to move to a better college/branch, based on vacancy. |
| Spot Round | Conducted only if seats remain vacant after the Sliding Round; open to fresh candidates and those who missed earlier rounds. Not guaranteed depends on seat availability. |
Important Instructions for Candidates
- Enter your JEE Main 2026 credentials (name, date of birth, roll number) exactly as submitted to the National Testing Agency (NTA) to avoid mismatches during verification.
