Step-by-step: How to complete your JEECUP 2026 application
Where to apply: go to jeecup.admissions.nic.in and look for the Candidate Activity Board. The registration link and form are available from there.
Create your account and keep the login details safe. You will need the same mobile and email to receive OTPs and communication.
Fill personal details carefully: full name, mobile number, email ID and other fields shown in the form. Small spelling errors in name or parent details may require formal correction later.
Documents to upload: the portal requires a recent photograph, signature and academic document(s) such as your 10th marksheet. Have scanned copies ready before you start.
Payment: The portal accepts credit card, debit card and net banking payments. The application fee differs by category (see fee section). Bank charges, if any, will be extra.
After payment, download the confirmation page and keep a printed copy for your records.
File and photo checklist: get uploads right first time
Prepare files before you start. Even though the portal lists what to upload, getting clear scans at the beginning saves time and avoids re-uploads during the correction window.
Photo and signature: use a recent passport-style photo and a clear scanned signature. If a file is rejected during upload, try a fresh scan or a different browser and re-upload immediately.
Academic documents: keep your 10th marksheet and category certificate (if applicable) ready in scanned form. Verify the spellings and registration numbers on these documents before uploading.
If your file upload is rejected or you see errors, try these first: clear browser cache, switch to another browser, reduce the scanning resolution and re-upload. If the problem persists, look for contact options on the portal and note down the error message and your transaction ID when you reach out.
How to pay the application fee and avoid payment failures
Fee structure
- General/OBC: ₹300
- SC/ST: ₹200
- Bank charges: additional (unspecified)
Payment flow: choose the payment option on the portal (credit/debit/net banking), enter card or netbanking details, and complete the OTP/2FA step if your bank requires it. Wait for the transaction confirmation page on the JEECUP portal before closing the browser.
Save payment proof: once the transaction completes, download and save the payment receipt and the confirmation page. Take a screenshot of the transaction reference and the confirmation screen.
Troubleshooting failed transactions: if a payment fails but money is debited from your bank, wait for the bank reversal or check your bank statement. Keep the transaction reference and contact your bank first. If the portal still shows no payment after the reversal time, contact JEECUP support on the portal with your transaction details.
Using the correction window (9–11 May): what you can and cannot change
The correction window is open for three days: 9 May to 11 May 2026 . JEECUP has said candidates can correct mistakes in submitted applications during these dates.
Typical corrections allowed include name spelling, uploaded photo, and academic detail adjustments. Use the window to fix any critical errors that could affect your candidature or admit card.
Prioritise the most important fixes first: name spelling, category (if wrong), date of birth, and uploaded identity documents. After saving, download the updated confirmation page and keep screenshots as proof of the corrected submission.
Record-keeping is crucial: take screenshots before and after edits, and save any updated confirmation PDFs the portal provides.
Admit card, exam day and CBT tips
Admit card: JEECUP expects to release the admit card on or around 8 May 2026 . Download it as soon as it appears on the portal and check these key items: your name, roll number, photograph, exam date and exam centre.
Exam mode and dates: JEECUP 2026 will be held as a Computer Based Test ( CBT ) between 15 May and 22 May 2026 . The portal will assign your exact exam date and slot; check the admit card carefully.
What to carry on exam day: carry the printed admit card and a government-approved photo ID (same name as on the application). Arrive at the centre well before the reporting time shown on the admit card.
CBT practical tips: familiarise yourself with CBT interfaces and practice basic onscreen navigation. On the day, follow invigilator instructions, and keep your admit card and ID ready for verification.
Special cases and common student concerns
Category or certificate changes: If you belong to a reserved category (OBC/SC/ST) and find a mistake in category information, correct it during the correction window and be ready with valid supporting certificates.
PwD and other special categories: the official portal should carry instructions for PwD or other special category applicants. Keep your disability certificate or special category proof ready; you may need to upload or present it during counselling or verification.
Missed the original deadline: the extension to 10 May 2026 is intended for students who missed the earlier 30 April 2026 deadline. If you missed that first date, you now have the opportunity to register and complete the process before the new cut-off.
Contact options: look for helpline or contact details on jeecup.admissions.nic.in. When you call or email, keep your application number, registered mobile number and transaction reference ready for faster support.
