UIET Chandigarh Course Admission 2026: Dates, Fees, Eligibility, Application Process, Selection Criteria

Eligibility for the Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology at the University Institute of Engineering and Technology (UIET) requires passing the Class 12th examination and qualifying in the JEE Mains exam. The admission process is conducted through JAC Chandigarh counselling, where candidates must fill out the application form available on the UIET website. The online counselling involves a fee between INR 2500 to INR 2800, and admissions are based on JEE Mains rank (CRL).

For Information Technology, a rank close to 67,000 may be required, while higher performance in JEE Mains, above the 94th percentile, increases admission chances. Admission is also influenced by various reservation quotas including SC, ST, OBC, sports, rural, defence, freedom fighter, and one-girl-child quotas. There is no strict 75% board percentage requirement, though a minimum of 60% in boards could be necessary. The JAC Chandigarh counselling process starts around May 1, 2024, paralleling the JOSAA counselling, with a seat acceptance fee of INR 40,000.

Spot rounds may provide additional opportunities for securing seats. The strategic location of UIET and competitive placement records make it a favorable choice for many students, often considered a better option than mid-tier NITs and similar institutions in terms of affordability and returns on investment.
