Seat Reservation & Category‑wise Distribution – B.Tech 2026

For B.E./B.Tech courses, 85% of sanctioned intake is State Quota (Haryana residents) and 15% is Rest of Haryana Category (RoHC – candidates from other states). Within the State Quota, 50% seats are Haryana Open General (HOGC) and 50% are reserved for various categories as per Haryana Government policy. Below is the exact reservation breakdown (Chapter‑5 of prospectus).

Insight – highest seat share & competition: The HOGC category (approx 42.5% of total sanctioned intake) receives the maximum number of seats, making it the most competitive. SC category (20% of state quota) follows, but note that within SC, 50% are reserved for Deprived SC (list in Appendix‑C1) – those seats are exclusive. For BC applicants, creamy layer verification is mandatory via PPP ID income data (annual family income > ₹8 lakh excludes creamy layer). Additionally, supernumerary seats include 5% Kashmiri Migrants (KM), up to 5% Tuition Fee Waiver (TFW) for income < ₹8L, and up to 10% EWS (Economically Weaker Sections). These do not reduce the main quota. Female candidates get 25% horizontal reservation in all categories (except supernumerary).

For B.Arch, 15% All India Category (AIC) and 85% Haryana seats with similar reservation pattern but subject to COA norms. Category‑wise vacancy details at institute level will be displayed during online choice filling.

Fee Structure & In‑Hand Expenses – Govt vs Private Institutes

Additional mandatory expenses (as per AFRC guidelines): Hostel (max ₹3,000/month ordinary, ₹3,500 AC), mess actual, transport actual +50%, uniform one‑time ₹6,000 (if prescribed), caution money (refundable) ₹4,500, admission data management fee ₹200 (to HSTES). Financial support: Post Matric Scholarship for SC/BC students, SCSP reimbursement of tuition fee for SC with family income ₹2.5L‑₹3.5L, TFW scheme (5% supernumerary, full tuition waiver for income < ₹8L), and EWS fee concession. “HARIHAR” category (abandoned children) gets free education in Govt institutions under EWS quota.

Application & Registration Fee (Non‑Refundable)

Common mistake to avoid: Do not pay the registration fee before uploading the required documents (PPP ID, photograph, signature, qualifying exam marksheet). Once paid, the fee is not refunded under any circumstance, even if you later become ineligible. Also, separate counselling participation does not require additional fee – one‑time registration covers both 1st and 2nd round.

Academic Eligibility – Stream & Percentage Required

Key clarifications: Final year appearing candidates can apply provisionally but must produce passing certificate at the time of physical reporting. For B.Tech Biotechnology, PCB students (without Maths) are eligible for 40 dedicated seats in UIET MDU & UIET KUK. Equivalent qualifications from any recognised board are accepted, but a migration certificate may be required for boards outside Haryana. PPP ID is mandatory for Haryana residents – any unverified data will result in general category consideration.

Selection Process – Online Off‑Campus Counselling

Step 1: Merit Preparation

For B.Tech – separate merit based on JEE Main 2026 Paper‑I Common Rank List (CRL). Tie‑breaker: age (senior gets preference) then alphabetical order. For B.Arch – combined merit of NATA 2026 percentile (or COA recognised test) and qualifying exam marks in 50:50 ratio.

Step 2: Two Rounds of Online Counselling

1st Counselling: All categories (RoHC, HOGC, SC, SC‑D, BCA, BCB, PH, ESM with priorities, FF) along with 25% horizontal female reservation. 2nd Counselling: Merged categories (SC+SC‑D into SC; BCA+BCB into BC; all ESM priorities merged). Supernumerary seats (KM, TFW, EWS) are filled parallelly. After 2nd counselling, leftover seats go to institute‑level management quota (25% seats in private institutes) filled on JEE Main merit or qualifying exam marks.
