Candidates register on the official JAC Chandigarh portal (jacchd.admissions.nic.in) using their JEE Main application number and password, then pay a non-refundable registration fee (commonly around ₹2,800 for General category, ₹1,400 for SC/ST/PwD) to activate their participation.
Following registration, candidates undergo document verification — uploading Class 10/12 marksheets, category and quota-relevant certificates — either fully online or at a designated verification centre, typically completing by late June.
JAC Chandigarh runs three structured rounds, each involving choice filling/locking followed by seat allotment, typically spanning early July through late July. A mock seat allotment is often published before Round 1's final results, giving candidates an early sense of likely outcomes based on the provisional merit list.
Any seats remaining vacant after the three main rounds are filled through a Special Spot Round in August, typically the final opportunity to secure a seat before the academic session begins.
| Stage | Typical Window |
|---|---|
| JAC Chandigarh Registration Opens | May |
| Registration Closes | June (around 3rd week) |
| Document Verification | Late June |
| Mock Seat Allotment | Late June / Early July |
| Round 1 Allotment | Early July |
| Round 2 Allotment | Mid July |
| Round 3 Allotment | Late July |
| Special Spot Round | August |
Because the entire process must conclude before the academic session begins in early-to-mid August, and because it cannot start until JEE Main results are available, JAC Chandigarh's window for running three full rounds plus a spot round is notably tight — candidates should treat each round's deadline as firm rather than assuming generous buffer time.
