About JCECEB Jharkhand B.Tech Counselling 2026 |
|
| The Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (JCECEB) conducts the centralised state counselling for admission to Bachelor of Technology/Bachelor of Engineering (B.Tech/B.E.) programmes at government and private engineering colleges across Jharkhand. For the 2026-27 session, candidates could register for state counselling either through their JEE Main 2026 score (registration window 24 June – 2 July 2026) or, for those who took it, through the JCECE 2026 entrance exam held on 7 July 2026. The JEE Main-based State Merit List was published on 5 July 2026, followed by the Round 1 seat matrix on 7 July 2026 and choice filling from 6–9 July 2026. After processing, JCECEB is set to make the Round 1 Seat Allotment Letter available for download from 24 July 2026 on the official engineering counselling portal. | |
| Schedule note: JCECEB’s originally circulated schedule had indicated the Round 1 allotment result and letter download window opening around 12–17 July 2026. As with most state counselling boards, JCECEB has extended/revised this timeline, and the confirmed Round 1 Seat Allotment Letter download date now stands at 24 July 2026. Candidates should always treat the live notice on jceceb.jharkhand.gov.in as final, since state boards frequently adjust dates during peak counselling season.
