Didn't give JEE or CUET? Still you can do BTech from UP, special counselling started for vacant seats

The opportunity to do BTech in UP has opened up for students who did not give JEE and CUET. AKTU is conducting special counselling on the basis of 12th marks to fill 70 thousand vacant seats.

If you had dreamed of doing BTech after 12th, but for some reason could not give JEE Main or CUET-UG exam, then you still have a chance. A large number of seats have remained vacant this year in the engineering colleges of Uttar Pradesh. To fill these, arrangements are being made to take admission even without JEE and CUET.

Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) handles the responsibility of admission in most of the engineering colleges of the state. This time the university has already conducted five rounds of counselling. About thirty-one thousand seats have been filled through these rounds, while four thousand students registered in the sixth round. Despite this, about seventy thousand seats remained vacant. The surprising thing is that about nineteen hundred of these seats are also vacant in government engineering colleges.

Special counseling

After such a large number of seats remained vacant, now the university has released a program of special counseling to fill them. There will be two rounds in this special counseling. The special thing is that in this process, admission will be given not only on the basis of JEE and CUET scores, but also on the basis of 12th class marks. That is, students who have not given any entrance exam till now can also apply.

The last date for registration and fee submission for the first round has been fixed as 28 August. After this, students will be able to choose the college and course of their choice by 31 August. Seats will be allotted on 2 September. The second round will start immediately after this, in which registration and fee will have to be deposited on 7 and 8 September. After this, choice filling will be done till 10 September and seat allotment will be done on 11 September.

Relief news for these

This decision is a relief news for thousands of students who could not appear in the national level entrance examinations due to some reason. It often happens that many students prepare for the entrance test but due to some reason they miss the exam or are unable to score better. In such a situation, their dream of B.Tech remains unfulfilled. But this time the university has given an opportunity to those students as well by opening the way for admission on the basis of 12th marks.
