TJEE Counselling 2026: Registration, Choice Filling and Round-Wise Seat Allotment

TJEE 2026 counselling is conducted by the Tripura Board of Joint Entrance Examination (TBJEE) for admission to engineering, agriculture, veterinary, fisheries, pharmacy, and allied professional programmes across Tripura. Choice filling for TJEE 2026 concluded on July 21, 2026; Round 1 seat allotment is expected to be announced in August 2026 on the official website tbjee.tripura.gov.in.

• TJEE 2026 counselling is conducted separately for the PCM group (B.Tech / Engineering) and the PCB group (Agriculture, Veterinary, Fisheries, Pharmacy, Nursing, Paramedical).
• Approximately 1,745 students qualified in the PCM group for TJEE 2026 engineering counselling; PCB group merit lists are published separately.
• Counselling registration was open from June 5 to June 15, 2026; choice filling ran from July 17 to July 21, 2026.
• Round 1 seat allotment is expected in August 2026, with Round 2 (for vacant seats) expected in late August 2026.
• Counselling registration fee: Rs 400 for General/UR students and Rs 300 for SC/ST/PH students, payable via Demand Draft or UPI transfer to TBJEE.
• Registering for counselling is mandatory — your TJEE rank alone does not guarantee a seat.

Reservation of Quotas for TJEE Counselling 2026

Seat reservation for TJEE 2026 counselling is governed by the Tripura State Government Reservation Act. Reservations apply separately within each college and course. The table below reflects the standard reservation structure for government and government-aided professional institutions in Tripura.

Key points about reservation in TJEE 2026:

• Horizontal reservations (PH/PwD and Ex-Servicemen) cut across all vertical categories. A PH/ST student, for example, is counted within the ST quota and simultaneously within the 3% PH horizontal sub-quota.
• TBJEE does not currently implement a separate OBC vertical quota for most government professional colleges under TJEE counselling. Students should verify the seat matrix for any updates to this position.
• Reservation norms for private and deemed universities (ICFAI, Techno India NJR) may differ from state norms; those institutions set their own quotas as per their statutes.
• All category certificates must be issued by the competent authority in Tripura; certificates issued by other states may not be accepted for state-quota seats.

How to Apply for TJEE Counselling 2026?

TJEE 2026 counselling is conducted entirely online through jeeonline.tripura.gov.in. The process has five distinct stages, all of which must be completed in sequence. Incomplete or skipped steps result in cancellation of your counselling participation or seat allotment — no exceptions are made for technical errors claimed after the deadline.

Step 1: Online Registration

Visit jeeonline.tripura.gov.in and log in using your TJEE 2026 Registration Number and Date of Birth. Fill in the counselling registration form with your personal details, category, and programme preference group (PCM or PCB). Pay the non-refundable counselling registration fee — Rs 400 for General/UR or Rs 300 for SC/ST/PH — via Demand Draft drawn in favour of "Tripura Board of Joint Entrance Examination, Agartala," or through UPI transfer to the TBJEE-designated account as specified in the official notification. Submit the form and note your login credentials; you will need them at every subsequent step.

Step 2: Document Upload

After completing registration, log back in and upload scanned copies of all required documents through the candidate dashboard. Each document must be clear and legible, in the format (JPG/PDF) and file size as specified by TBJEE. Documents uploaded here are used for preliminary verification; students must still carry originals and self-attested photocopies when reporting to the allotted college. A full list of required documents appears in the dedicated section below.

Step 3: Choice Filling

Within the designated choice filling window, log in to the portal and build your preference list by selecting college-course combinations. Fill at least 15–20 choices to maximise your chances across all available programmes and institutions. Choices can be added, reordered, or removed any number of times before the locking deadline. Once you are satisfied with your preference list, lock it — your locked list is the only input TBJEE uses for seat allotment. The choice filling window for TJEE 2026 ran from July 17 to July 21, 2026.

Step 4: Seat Allotment

After the choice filling window closes, TBJEE runs the seat allotment algorithm across all registered students. Each student is assigned the highest-ranked choice (from their locked list) for which a seat is available in their merit rank and category. Round 1 allotment results are published on tbjee.tripura.gov.in and the counselling portal. Students allotted a seat receive an allotment letter they must download and retain. Students not allotted a seat in Round 1 should monitor the official website for Round 2 registration dates and participate without fail.

Step 5: Fee Payment and Seat Acceptance

Students who receive a Round 1 allotment must log in to the counselling portal and confirm acceptance of the seat within the stipulated deadline. Seat confirmation involves either an online acceptance click on the portal or payment of the initial admission/tuition fee at the allotted college as directed by TBJEE’s round-specific instructions. Failure to accept and confirm your allotted seat by the deadline causes automatic cancellation — the seat passes to the next eligible student and cannot be reclaimed.

How to Lock Choices (Step-by-Step Guide)

Choice filling and locking is the most consequential step in TJEE counselling. The allotment algorithm works exclusively from your locked preference list — choices not submitted or not locked before the deadline are entirely ignored, regardless of your rank.

Step 1: Log In to the Counselling Portal

• Go to jeeonline.tripura.gov.in.
• Enter your TJEE 2026 Registration Number and Date of Birth, then click Login.
• Navigate to the "Choice Filling / College Preference" section on your dashboard.

Step 2: Browse Available Colleges and Programmes

• Use the search or filter options to browse colleges and courses within your group (PCM for engineering; PCB for agriculture/veterinary/fisheries/pharmacy).
• The available seat matrix (published on tbjee.tripura.gov.in) shows how many seats are open in each programme and category — review it before filling choices.

Step 3: Add and Order Your Preferences

• Click "Add" against each college-course combination you want in your list.
• Arrange your list in strict descending order of preference — the option you most want at the top, backups lower down.
• Add at least 15–20 choices to maximise the chance of being allotted a seat across both rounds.
• Include choices from multiple colleges and programmes; do not limit yourself to one or two options.

Step 4: Review, Edit, and Save

• Use the "Move Up / Move Down" or drag-and-drop buttons to reorder your list at any time before the deadline.
• Delete any option you have changed your mind about using the "Remove" button.
• Save your list as a draft and return later to continue editing — you are not locked until you explicitly lock.

Step 5: Lock Your Choices

• Once fully satisfied with your preference order, click "Lock Choices."
• Read the confirmation prompt carefully — it will state that locking is irreversible.
• Confirm the lock. No changes to the preference list are possible after locking.
• Download and save the Locked Choice Acknowledgement PDF — it is your official record and may be requested at reporting.

TJEE Counselling Documents Required 2026

Students must upload scanned copies during online counselling registration and present originals with self-attested photocopies at the allotted college during reporting. Incomplete documentation at the time of reporting results in cancellation of the allotted seat — no grace period is provided for missing documents.

• TJEE 2026 Admit Card (downloaded from tbjee.tripura.gov.in)
• TJEE 2026 Rank Card / Scorecard
• Class 10 (Madhyamik or equivalent) marksheet and pass certificate
• Class 12 (Higher Secondary or equivalent) marksheet and pass certificate
• Tripura Permanent Residence Certificate (PRTC) — issued by the competent authority in Tripura
• Aadhaar Card or any other valid government-issued photo ID
• Recent passport-size photographs (minimum 6 copies, white background, taken within the last 3 months)
• SC or ST Caste Certificate — issued by the competent authority in Tripura (if applicable)
• Disability / PH Certificate — issued by the District Disabilities Rehabilitation Centre (DDRC) (if applicable)
• Ex-Servicemen / Defence Personnel Ward Certificate — issued by the Directorate of Sainik Welfare, Tripura (if applicable)
• Character Certificate — from the last attended institution (Class 12 school or college)
• Transfer Certificate (TC) — from the last attended institution
• Migration Certificate — required for students who passed Class 12 from a board other than TBSE (Tripura Board of Secondary Education)
• Medical Fitness Certificate — some colleges require this at the time of reporting; confirm with your allotted college

Note: TBJEE may revise this document list in its official 2026 counselling notification. Always download the final document checklist from tbjee.tripura.gov.in before reporting to your allotted college to avoid any last-minute surprises.

How Much Money is Needed for TJEE Counselling 2026?

TJEE 2026 counselling involves two separate categories of fees: the non-refundable registration fee paid to TBJEE at the time of registration, and the admission and tuition fee paid directly to the allotted college at the time of reporting.

Non-Refundable Counselling Registration Fee

This fee is payable to TBJEE during the counselling registration phase. It is not refunded under any circumstance, including non-allotment or withdrawal after allotment.

Admission and Tuition Fees at Allotted College

Admission and tuition fees are paid directly to the allotted college when you report to confirm your seat. These vary by institution type, programme, and whether you belong to a reserved category. If you withdraw after paying admission fees to your allotted college, the refund (if any) is governed by the college’s own withdrawal and refund policy, not by TBJEE.

Note: Fee structures are subject to revision by the respective institution or the Tripura Fee Regulatory Committee. Verify the exact fee payable with your allotted college before reporting.

TJEE 2026 Round-Wise Seat Allotment

TJEE 2026 counselling is conducted in two rounds. Round 1 fills the majority of available seats. Round 2 is held only for seats that remain vacant after Round 1 reporting. Students who are not allotted a seat in Round 1 must participate in Round 2 for their last chance at admission through TJEE 2026.

How to check your TJEE 2026 seat allotment result:

• Visit the official TBJEE website at tbjee.tripura.gov.in.
• Click on the "TJEE 2026 Seat Allotment Result" link on the homepage (activated after results are declared).

PCB Group — Offline Round 2 Note: Round 2 for the PCB group (Agriculture, Veterinary, Fisheries, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Paramedical programmes) may be conducted in offline / physical mode at designated departmental venues. Attendance is typically scheduled rank-wise across multiple days (e.g., Ranks 1–1,000 on Day 1; Ranks 1,001–2,500 on Day 2; Ranks 2,501 and above on Day 3). Students in the PCB group must monitor the official notifications from TBJEE and the Directorate of Higher Education, Tripura, for specific dates, venues, and rank-wise schedules.

Reporting to Your Allotted College

Once TJEE 2026 seat allotment is declared, students allotted a seat must report to their assigned college within the reporting window to complete the admission process. Failing to report within the TBJEE-specified deadline causes automatic forfeiture of the allotted seat — it is then released to the next eligible student and cannot be reclaimed.

Step-by-step reporting process:

• Download your TJEE 2026 Seat Allotment Letter from the counselling portal immediately after results are declared.
• Visit your allotted college in person on or before the reporting deadline. Do not delay — college admission offices process documents in strict order of arrival.
• Submit original documents along with self-attested photocopies for verification by the college’s admission committee.
• Pay the admission and tuition fee as specified by the college. Collect the fee receipt and provisional admission confirmation slip.
• Obtain your provisional admission letter from the college — this document confirms your enrolment for the academic year.
• Complete any additional formalities required by the college, such as biometric registration, student ID card issuance, or library enrolment, as directed by the college administration.

Documents to carry (originals + self-attested photocopies of each):

• TJEE 2026 Allotment Letter (downloaded from the counselling portal)
• TJEE 2026 Admit Card and Rank Card
• Class 10 marksheet and pass certificate
• Class 12 marksheet and pass certificate
• Tripura Permanent Residence Certificate (PRTC)
• Aadhaar Card (or other valid government-issued photo ID)
• Category certificate — SC/ST certificate, PH/Disability certificate, or Defence ward certificate as applicable
• Character Certificate from last attended institution
• Transfer Certificate (TC) from last attended institution
• Migration Certificate (if applicable)
• Recent passport-size photographs (minimum 6 copies)

Accept Your Round 1 Seat or Wait for Round 2?

Unlike JoSAA (for NITs/IITs) or MCC (for MBBS), TJEE does not offer a formal float or upgrade mechanism between rounds. After Round 1 allotment, every student faces a binary decision: accept the allotted seat (pay fees, report, secure admission) or decline and wait for Round 2. Use the table below to identify the right call for your situation.

Important points before deciding:

• Popular programmes like CSE and ECE at TIT fill entirely in Round 1. Waiting for Round 2 in the hope of these seats is unlikely to succeed.
• Round 2 seat availability is small — it consists only of seats vacated by students who declined, failed to report, or were found ineligible after Round 1. The total seats available in Round 2 are significantly fewer than in Round 1.
• If you accept a Round 1 seat and pay fees at the college, your refund eligibility — if you later withdraw — depends entirely on that college’s withdrawal and refund policy, not on TBJEE.
• PCB group students should note that Round 2 for their programmes may be offline at departmental venues. Missing the offline date forfeits your Round 2 chance entirely.
• There is no official mechanism in TJEE to simultaneously hold one seat and compete for a better one in the next round — accepting a seat is a commitment. Evaluate your options carefully before the reporting deadline.
