Candidates who fail to pay the seat acceptance fee before the deadline or choose to decline the allotted seat will have their candidature cancelled for the current admission cycle. Such candidates will not be considered for any further seat allotment rounds, and the vacant seats will be offered to other eligible applicants in subsequent counselling rounds.

UCEED Round 4 Seat Acceptance Fee Window Closes on July 3

IIT Bombay has advised all provisionally selected candidates to complete the payment process at the earliest to avoid last-minute technical issues. Payment of the seat acceptance fee is mandatory for confirming admission in the allotted institute and programme.

Following the closure of the fee payment window, candidates who wish to withdraw from the admission process will be able to do so between July 4 and July 6, 2026, up to 6:00 PM.

What Happens If You Do Not Pay the Seat Acceptance Fee?

Candidates should note the following consequences of non-payment:

• The allotted seat will automatically stand cancelled.

• The candidate will not be considered for subsequent UCEED seat allotment rounds.

• The vacated seat will be allotted to another eligible candidate during the remaining counselling rounds, if applicable.

• No further claim for admission can be made once the candidature is cancelled.
