Lakhs of pharmacy aspirants can finally breathe easy Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) has put out the tentative round-wise schedule for UPTAC 2026 First Year B.Pharmacy and Pharm D admissions. From choice filling to seat allotment to physical reporting, every key date candidates need is now on the table.
Unlike the JEE-based B.Tech route, admission to B.Pharmacy and Pharm D under UPTAC 2026 runs on CUET UG 2026 scores. The entire process, from registration to final reporting, is being conducted online through the Samarth portal.
UPTAC 2026 B.Pharmacy First Year: Round-Wise Tentative Schedule
| Event | Tentative Dates |
|---|---|
| Registration & Application Filling | July 09 – July 23, 2026 |
| Round 1: Online Choice Filling & Locking | July 23 – July 25, 2026 |
| Round 1: Seat Allotment Result | July 28, 2026 |
| Physical Reporting at Allotted Institute (Regular Rounds) | August 16 – August 18, 2026 |
Candidates should note that this schedule is tentative and subject to revision by AKTU based on seat matrix availability. Further rounds including internal sliding and Special Rounds will follow after the regular rounds conclude, so aspirants who don't get a preferred seat in Round 1 will still have more chances.
Eligibility for B.Pharmacy First Year
- Passed Class 12 with Physics and Chemistry as compulsory subjects, plus Mathematics or Biology.
- Minimum 45% marks in the relevant subjects (40% for SC/ST candidates).

The schedule remains tentative and may be revised depending on seat matrix availability; candidates are advised to keep checking the official portal regularly.— AKTU / UPTAC Notice
Why Candidates Should Act Now
With government pharmacy colleges historically closing out fast on merit, and the choice-filling window running just a few days, delaying your preference list could cost a seat at a top institute. Cross-check your CUET UG 2026 score against last year's closing scores before locking your choices.
