NIMCET 2026 Counselling Process: Step by Step

NIMCET counselling is conducted centrally by the organizing NIT. There are typically two allotment rounds followed by a spot round for seats that remain vacant. Complete each step within the specified deadline — missing a window forfeits your allotment.

  1. Counselling Registration: Log in at nimcet.in and pay the non-refundable counselling registration fee online.
  2. Choice Filling: Select your preferred NIT institutes and MCA programme in order of priority. You can edit choices during the open window.
  3. Choice Locking: Lock your final preferences before the deadline. Choices not manually locked are auto-locked when the window closes.
  4. Round 1 Seat Allotment: Seat allotment is published based on your AIR, category, and choices filled. Check your allotment on the portal.
  5. Seat Acceptance and Fee Payment: Pay the seat acceptance fee within 2–3 days of Round 1 allotment to confirm your provisional admission. Missing this deadline means losing the allotted seat.
  6. Round 2 Allotment: Students who did not accept a Round 1 seat may participate. Additional seats may become available due to withdrawals.
  7. Spot Round (if applicable): A spot round is conducted for seats remaining vacant after the main rounds. Participation format — walk-in or online — is announced separately.
  8. Document Verification: Carry originals and self-attested photocopies of all required documents to the allotted NIT on the designated date.
  9. Institute Reporting: Pay tuition fees and complete enrollment formalities at the institute within the reporting window to secure your seat.
