Follow these steps in sequence. Skipping ahead is the most common cause of dropped applications and missed deadlines.
Go to jeecup.admissions.nic.in. Click the 'New Registration' link. You will enter your name (matching your Class 10 marksheet exactly), date of birth, mobile number, email address, and create a password. Save the application number that the portal generates — you will need it for the admit card download and every subsequent step.
Enter your father's name, mother's name, address, category (General / SC / ST / OBC / EWS / Minority), nationality, domicile state. Then add your Class 10 details: school name, board (UP Board / CBSE / ICSE / others), passing year, total marks, percentage. Lateral-entry candidates (Group K) add their Class 12 / ITI / diploma details too.
BIPE's 3-year diploma engineering uses Group A — Class-10-pass candidates. Other groups (B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, K, L) are for different diploma types (Pharmacy, Lateral Entry, etc.). Selecting the wrong group means re-applying entirely. Double-check before you proceed.
JEECUP lets you pick 3 exam-centre preferences. Pick centres realistic for your travel logistics — preferably your home district or a major adjacent district. Eastern UP centres include Varanasi, Jaunpur, Mau, Ghazipur, Azamgarh, Mirzapur, Sonbhadra. Bihar applicants choose Patna, Gaya, Bhagalpur, Muzaffarpur via the all-India category.
Required: passport-size colour photograph (JPG, 10-300 KB, white background, recent), signature (10-50 KB), Class 10 marksheet (PDF, under 2 MB). Most rejected applications fail here — verify size, format and clarity before clicking upload. The portal sometimes shows 'upload failed' for files just outside spec.
Pay ₹300 (General / OBC) or ₹200 (SC / ST / Physically Handicapped) via UPI, debit / credit card, or net banking. Save the payment receipt. If your fee shows 'pending' for more than 24 hours, raise a ticket via the JEECUP helpline — do not pay twice (the portal will record the double payment but refund processing takes weeks).
Review every detail one final time — names, date of birth, category, exam group, centres, document uploads. Once you click 'Final Submit' the form cannot be edited (a correction window opens later for limited fields). Download the application PDF and print 2 copies for your records and for counselling document verification.
Many applications stall because a required document is missing or in the wrong format. Gather these BEFORE you open the registration form:
No. JEECUP 2026 registration closed on 20 May after an extension from the original 30 April deadline. The next opportunity is JEECUP 2027 (typically opens January 2027). In the meantime, BIPE accepts direct applications outside JEECUP for vacant seats — apply via /apply or call +91-9198646464 to discuss your options.
JEECUP usually opens a correction window for limited fields (name spelling, photograph, signature) approximately 1 week after registration closes. Major fields like date of birth, category, and exam group are typically NOT correctable. Watch the jeecup.admissions.nic.in homepage for the correction-window dates.
Yes, but with caveats. JEECUP-route admission is the standard path and gets you a guaranteed allotment through the counselling rounds. BIPE also accepts direct applications for vacant seats after the JEECUP counselling concludes (typically late July / August). Direct admission is rank-independent but seat-limited. WhatsApp +91-9198646464 to ask about current vacancy.
₹300 for General / OBC / Minority candidates and ₹200 for SC / ST / Physically Handicapped candidates. Payable online via UPI, debit / credit card, or net banking. The portal accepts payment in INR only.
Yes. JEECUP is open to candidates from any state. Bihar residents fall under the all-India category for JEECUP-allotted seats. BIPE participates fully in this category — see our /jeecup-from-bihar and /admission-from-bihar pages for the Bihar-specific transit + documents context.
Yes. WhatsApp +91-9198646464 with your specific question — common ones include exam-centre choice, group selection, category certificate format, and fee payment troubleshooting. We don't charge for application counselling; the conversation is free and we'll answer in English or Hindi.
