If you were not allotted a seat in APJEE 2026 Round 1, you still have a strong chance — APJEE 2026 Round 2 seat allotment is scheduled for July 3, 2026, on the official portal apdhte.nic.in, and your application carries forward automatically.
The Directorate of Higher and Technical Education (DHTE), Arunachal Pradesh released the APJEE 2026 Round 1 seat allotment on June 30, 2026. Students who did not receive a seat in Round 1 — because of high competition for specific branches, fewer choices filled, or a rank-based shortfall — do not need to register again. Their existing applications are automatically considered for Round 2. Seats vacated by Round 1 students who do not accept or report also return to the common pool, often making more seats available in Round 2 than were available initially.
- APJEE 2026 Round 2 seat allotment date: July 3, 2026 — check your result at apdhte.nic.in.
- No fresh registration required; your Round 1 application is automatically carried forward to Round 2.
- If the portal opens a choice modification window before Round 2, add more colleges and branches to widen your options.
- Seats unclaimed after Round 1 re-enter the pool, so availability in Round 2 is often higher.
- Keep all original documents ready to report to college immediately after receiving your Round 2 allotment.

Why Were You Not Allotted in APJEE 2026 Round 1?
A no-allotment result in Round 1 is common and does not end your admission chances. These are the most frequent reasons students miss out in the first round:
- High demand for popular branches — CSE, ECE, and EE seats at top colleges fill up quickly in Round 1, with higher-ranked students taking all available seats first.
- Too few choices filled — A short preference list reduces the chance of matching an available seat. More choices mean more opportunities for a match.
- Rank and cutoff gap — Students whose ranks fall just below the Round 1 closing cutoff for their preferred institutions do not receive allotment until the next round.
- Category seat mismatch — Seats are divided across General, ST, SC, and OBC categories. If your category’s available seats were exhausted by students ranked above you, no allotment is made in that round.
All these situations are resolved through subsequent rounds. Seats that go unclaimed after Round 1 — because allotted students do not pay the acceptance fee or do not report — are returned to the pool and become available in Round 2 on July 3, 2026.
Steps to Take Before APJEE 2026 Round 2 Seat Allotment
The window between June 30 and July 3 is short. Use these three days to act on the steps below:
- Log in and confirm your Round 1 status — Visit apdhte.nic.in, log in with your APJEE 2026 application number and password, and confirm your status shows as not allotted.
- Look for a choice modification window — Some counselling systems open a brief edit window between rounds. If DHTE Arunachal Pradesh announces one, use it to add more colleges and branches — especially options you may have skipped in Round 1.
- Expand your college preferences — If your original list covered only one or two districts, add government and private engineering colleges across Arunachal Pradesh. A broader list significantly increases your chances of a Round 2 match.
- Do not withdraw or take any negative action — Your application is automatically in Round 2. No action is needed to stay eligible. Withdrawing now removes you from all further rounds.
- Arrange your documents in advance — Collect originals and photocopies of all required certificates now so you can report to your allotted college immediately after Round 2, without scrambling for paperwork.
- Check apdhte.nic.in every day — Any change to the Round 2 schedule, a choice edit notice, or additional instructions will be posted on the official portal only.
