UCEED Counselling and Seat Allotment 2027 Rules and Regulations

• Candidates' application form will be cancelled if the shortlisted candidates do not pay the seat acceptance fee before the allotted date or refuse to take admission. The vacant seats will be filled in the subsequent rounds.
• Candidates have the option to either accept (‘freeze’) the choice of institute allotted to them or refuse the admission offer.
• Candidates have the option to either accept or freeze if they are allotted their second or third choice of an institute, or accept with the option which is considered for upward movement (‘float’) the choice for the subsequent round(s), if any, at the time of joint seat allocation.
• Candidates must mention that they do not want to take part in subsequent rounds at the time of freezing the option. Those candidates are not eligible for other rounds.
• As far as the ‘floating’ option is concerned, candidates can accept the offered seat on one condition: if they are offered admission to an institute of their choice, they will accept, otherwise, they will continue to study in the accepted institute. Such candidates will be eligible for further rounds of admission.
• Candidates will have to forfeit the seat they had accepted in the previous round if they are allotted an institute of higher preference. This will apply to those candidates who choose the float option.
• Candidates have to pay the acceptance fee only one time. There is no need for paying the acceptance fee again if a candidate is allotted another seat and if they choose the ‘float’ option.
• For those candidates who accept the seat that they are offered, their UCEED counselling & seat allotment fees will be adjusted against the institute fees at the time of joining. For those candidates who refuse to take admission to the seat offered to them after making the payment, the fee will be refunded by the rules and regulations of that particular institute.
• Candidates will get a complete refund if they decide to withdraw at the end of the first round or before the end of the second round and have paid the acceptance fee at the time of UCEED counselling and seat allotment 2025. However, candidates must note that processing charges of Rs 5,000/- will be deducted. But candidates will not get any refund at the end of the last round since there will be no "float" option after this round.
