What is IPU CET Phase 3 Seat Matrix?
The IPU CET Phase 3 seat matrix is a document released by GGSIPU listing all seats remaining vacant in each institute and branch after Phases 1 and 2 of counselling. It is released before Phase 3 counselling begins so students can make informed choices.
The matrix covers all GGSIPU-affiliated institutes offering B.Tech and MBA programmes, listing seats under different categories — General (UR), OBC, SC, ST, EWS, and Defence or Ex-Servicemen quota. Only students who participated in IPU CET 2026 and have a valid rank are eligible to participate in Phase 3 counselling.
Phase 3 typically has fewer vacant seats than Phase 1. Students who could not secure admission in popular branches like CSE or IT may find seats available in ECE, EE, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering. MBA programmes often retain a moderate number of seats through Phase 3, especially at non-USMS institutes.
Institute-Wise Vacant B.Tech Seats (Expected Based on 2025 Trends)
The table below shows the expected number of vacant B.Tech seats per institute in Phase 3 of IPU CET 2026. These figures are expected based on 2025 trends and will be updated once the official Phase 3 seat matrix is released on July 14, 2026.
| Institute | Approx. Total B.Tech Intake | Expected Vacant Seats (Phase 3) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| USICT (University School of ICT) | ~540 | 10–30 | Very low vacancy; high demand |
| MSIT (Maharaja Surajmal Institute of Technology) | ~540 | 20–50 | Low to moderate; CSE and IT fill fast |
| BPIT (Bhagwan Parshuram Institute of Technology) | ~540 | 30–70 | Moderate vacancy in non-CSE branches |
| AIACTR (Ambedkar Institute of Advanced Communication Technologies) | ~360 | 20–50 | ECE and IT moderate; EE higher vacancy |
| HMR Institute of Technology | ~360 | 40–80 | Higher vacancy in Mech and Civil |
| Ambedkar Institute of Technology (AIT) | ~360 | 30–70 | Moderate across branches |
All figures are expected based on 2025 IPU CET Phase 3 trends. Actual seat counts will be published officially at ipu.admissions.nic.in around July 14, 2026.
Branch-Wise B.Tech Seat Vacancy in IPU CET 2026 Phase 3
Seat availability in Phase 3 varies significantly by branch. CSE and IT are the most competitive branches and carry the fewest vacant seats by Phase 3. Students targeting these branches must secure a high rank in earlier phases. ECE carries moderate vacancies, while EE, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering branches tend to have the most seats available in Phase 3.
| Branch | Expected Vacancy Level (Phase 3) | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) | Very Low | Highest demand; fills up in Phases 1 and 2 |
| Information Technology (IT) | Low to Medium | High demand; limited seats remain by Phase 3 |
| Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) | Medium | Moderate demand; some seats available |
| Electrical Engineering (EE) | Medium to High | Lower demand relative to CSE and IT |
| Mechanical Engineering | High | Consistently higher vacancy in Phase 3 |
| Civil Engineering | High | Lower enrolment demand; more seats available |
Students open to EE, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering have a better chance of securing admission in Phase 3. These vacancy levels are expected based on 2025 IPU CET Phase 3 trends.
Institute-Wise Vacant MBA Seats in IPU CET 2026 Phase 3
MBA programmes under GGSIPU also participate in Phase 3 counselling. USMS typically fills most seats in earlier phases, but affiliated institutes often carry moderate MBA vacancies into Phase 3. The table below shows expected vacant MBA seats based on 2025 trends.
| Institute | Approx. MBA Intake | Expected Vacant Seats (Phase 3) | Remarks |
