Admissions 2026: Entrance Exams, Counselling and Seat Allotment
This page tracks admission notifications across India: national entrance exams such as NEET, JEE Main, CUET and CLAT, state-level entrance tests, counselling and seat-allotment rounds, direct admissions by merit, and course intakes at government institutes. Each entry links to the official notice or counselling portal so you can register, fill choices or download an allotment letter without hunting across multiple sites. Admissions are kept separate from job notifications here, because a seat and a post are different things, and conflating them is how a seat matrix ends up being read as a vacancy count.

Entrance exams, counselling and admission in India
Most competitive admissions in India run in two stages. First an entrance exam decides a rank, conducted by a body such as the National Testing Agency, a state examination authority, or a consortium of institutes. Then a counselling process converts that rank into a seat, usually across several rounds of registration, choice filling, locking, allotment and reporting. Missing a single step, most often the reporting window, costs the seat regardless of rank, which is why the dates on each page matter as much as the eligibility.
Why counselling rounds are listed separately
Round 1, Round 2, mop-up and stray vacancy rounds each have their own schedule, their own eligibility for who may participate, and their own seat matrix. They are published here as separate entries rather than folded into one page, because a candidate searching during the stray vacancy round needs that round's dates, not the dates of a round that closed weeks earlier.
What this site will not tell you
It will not predict a closing rank, estimate a cut-off, or total up a seat matrix into a headline number. Those figures are produced by the counselling authority after candidates accept or decline seats, and publishing a guess ahead of them is actively misleading to someone deciding where to report. Where a number is genuinely published, it appears; where it is not, the page says so and links to the authority.
Frequently Asked Questions
An admission notice is about joining a course or programme, for example MBBS through NEET counselling or B.Tech through JEE. A government job notification is about being recruited to a post. They are listed separately on this site because the eligibility, the process and the outcome are different: an admission ends in a seat, a recruitment ends in a job.
Because the official notice did not state one. Most counselling notices publish a round-wise seat matrix across many colleges and categories rather than a single headline figure, and an overall total is not something we will calculate or estimate on their behalf. Where a seat count is shown, the conducting body published it.
No. Closing ranks and cut-offs change with every counselling round and depend on who accepts a seat, so any figure published in advance is a guess. Each page explains what moves a closing rank and links to the counselling authority, which is the only source that publishes the real ones.
New admission and counselling notices are added as soon as the official announcement is picked up, usually within hours. Rounds that have already closed stop being imported, so what you see here is the currently open set.
