How to Check Your UG Merit List / Allotment Result 2026-27

Your seat allotment status is shown directly on the official portal — not on this page. Follow these steps:

  1. Visit admissions.highereduhry.ac.in.
  2. Click the "Know Your Result" tab on the homepage.
  3. Enter your Registration Number (received during application).
  4. Choose "Merit List 1st" to see your rank/status, or "College Allotment List (Final Merit)" to see the exact college and course you have been allotted, if any.
  5. If your name appears with a college allotted, proceed to fee payment (below) within the deadline.
  6. If not allotted in the 1st list, wait for the 2nd Merit List — you do not need to re-register.

Fee Payment After Seat Allotment

Once you are allotted a college and course in the Merit List, you must pay the college admission fee within the scheduled window to confirm your seat:

  • 1st Round fee submission window: 23 July 2026 to 4 August 2026 (till 5:00 PM). 2nd Round fee submission window: 4 August 2026 to 7 August 2026. Both are now closed.
  • Fee can be paid online (as guided on the portal) or as instructed by your allotted college.
  • After successful payment, a fee receipt is generated on the portal — download and keep it safely.
  • Report to the allotted college with your original documents as per the college's instructions to complete admission.
  • Important: If you do not pay within the window, your allotted seat is automatically forfeited and released for the next round.

Seat "Defer" Option – Trying for a Better College

If you have a seat allotted in the 1st Merit List but want a chance at a higher-preference college in the next round, the DHE Haryana portal generally provides a "defer" option through Student Login instead of paying the fee immediately.

  • Deferring keeps you in the running for the 2nd Merit List based on your original preferences and rank.
  • If a better college comes up in the 2nd list, you get that allotment instead.
  • If you do not defer and also do not pay the fee within the window, the seat is simply forfeited — deferring (where available) is the correct way to keep your options open.

Note: Exact availability, steps, and deadline for the defer option can vary by session — always confirm this on admissions.highereduhry.ac.in → Student Login before your fee-payment window closes.

2nd Merit List & Fee Submission Dates

As per the DHE Haryana revised UG schedule:

  • Fee Submission (2nd Round): 4 August 2026 to 7 August 2026

The 2nd list filled seats left vacant after the 1st round — from candidates who didn't pay/defer, seat cancellations, and newly eligible applicants as per rank and reservation policy. Both rounds are now complete; leftover seats are being filled through physical counselling (see below).

Leftover Seats – Physical Counselling (Current Stage)

Seats still vacant after the 2nd Merit List are being filled through physical counselling directly at the college:

Go to admissions.highereduhry.ac.in, click the "Know Your Result" tab on the homepage, enter your Registration Number, and select "Merit List 1st" or "College Allotment List (Final Merit)" to view your allotted college and course.

What is the last date to pay the fee after 1st Merit List allotment?

As per the DHE Haryana revised schedule (Notice dated 03.08.2026), fee submission for the 1st round was extended and ran from 23 July 2026 to 4 August 2026 (now closed). If you did not pay within this window, your allotted seat was forfeited and released for the 2nd round.

When was the 2nd UG merit list released?

The 2nd Merit List (Provisional and Final) was released on 4 August 2026, with fee submission for the 2nd round from 4 August to 7 August 2026.

What happens to leftover seats after the 2nd merit list?

Leftover seats are being filled through physical counselling at the college, live since 8 August 2026. The portal re-opened for fresh registration on 9 August 2026, with continued physical counselling from 10-16 August (₹100 late fee) and 17-23 August (₹100 late fee + ₹100/day).

Can I defer my allotted seat to try for a better college?

The portal generally offers a defer option via Student Login for candidates who want to wait for a better allotment in the next round instead of paying the fee immediately. Always confirm the exact process and deadline on the portal before your fee window closes.

Do I need to register again for the 2nd merit list or physical counselling?

Is the fee payment deadline the same for every allotted college?

The fee submission window (23-27 July 2026 for the 1st round) is set centrally by DHE Haryana for all colleges under this admission cycle, but candidates should still confirm with their specific allotted college in case of any local instructions or document requirements.
