How UGEE 2026 Seat Allotment Rounds Work
IIIT Hyderabad releases seat allotment in multiple rounds after the interview stage. Your rank on the merit list — determined solely by interview performance — and your program preferences drive each allotment. Here is what to expect in each round:
- The merit list and Round 1 allotment are published on the official admissions portal after interviews.
- Each round comes with a specific acceptance deadline (5:00 PM IST). If you do not accept and pay the required fee by that time, your seat is automatically declined for that round.
- Students who wish to try for a better program in a later round can choose to continue to the next round on the portal — your merit rank is carried forward.
- You may cancel your seat at any time before physically reporting to the campus; however, the seat acceptance fee component is non-refundable as per IIIT Hyderabad policy.
- Watch the portal and your registered email closely — round dates are announced with short turnarounds.
How to Accept Your UGEE 2026 Offer
Once your seat is allotted, complete these steps before the round deadline to confirm your admission:
- Log in to the admissions portal at ugadmissions.iiit.ac.in with your User ID and password.
- Go to the seat allotment section and review your allotted program and round details.
- Select Accept Seat to confirm your choice for this round.
- Complete the online fee payment as indicated — the amount and break-up are specified in your allotment notice. Keep the payment receipt.
- Upload all required documents to the portal in the formats specified (PDF or clear JPG).
- Await a confirmation message or email from IIIT Hyderabad acknowledging your acceptance before proceeding to report.
If you are not satisfied with the allotted program, select the option to continue to the next round instead of accepting. You will stay in the allotment pool for subsequent rounds. Specific fee requirements for continuing to later rounds are detailed in your round notification — check the portal for the exact amount.
