The Directorate of Colleges, Higher Education Department, Government of Jammu and Kashmir, has announced an extension in the last date for fresh registration and walk-in admissions under Phase-II of Undergraduate (UG) admissions for the academic session 2026-27.
The extension applies to admissions to Four-Year Undergraduate Programmes (FYUGP) and Five-Year Integrated P.G. Programmes (IPG) offered through Government Degree Colleges of Jammu & Kashmir, with multiple-exit options.
The admission extension has been issued through an Admission Notification bearing No. DC-HE/2026/2705, dated 15-09-2026. The notification continues the earlier admission notices referenced by the Directorate of Colleges and provides a revised schedule for candidates seeking admission against vacant seats.
Phase-II UG Admission Deadline Extended
According to the latest admission notification, the Directorate of Colleges has extended the last date for Fresh Registrations and Walk-in Admissions for filling up vacant seats under Annexure ‘B’.
The extension concerns Phase-II admissions to Undergraduate and Integrated Post-Graduate programmes across Government Degree Colleges of J&K.
The notification has been issued in continuation of earlier office notices relating to Phase-II admissions to UG and IPG programmes. Candidates who are eligible and seeking admission against available vacant seats have been provided additional time according to the revised schedule mentioned in the notification.
The admission process covers Four-Year Undergraduate Programmes (FYUGP) as well as Five-Year Integrated P.G. Programmes (IPG). Both programme categories have multiple-exit options as specified in the admission notification.
The latest notification is therefore particularly relevant for candidates who either have not completed fresh registration or need to participate in the walk-in admission and document verification process for programmes listed under Annexure ‘B’.
Revised Admission Schedule for Academic Session 2026-27
The Directorate of Colleges has prescribed separate deadlines for different activities connected with Phase-II admissions.
The revised schedule gives candidates additional time to complete the required steps within the specified dates and timings.
The three activities mentioned in the notification are:
- Fresh registration of unregistered candidates on the Centralised Admission Portal, along with updating of Class 12th result particulars by candidates who were already registered during Phase-I.
- Walk-in admissions and verification of documents at colleges for programmes listed in Annexure ‘B’.
- Completion of admission formalities, including online payment of fees and physical verification of original documents.
Each activity has a specified deadline in the notification.
Fresh Registration Extended Up to September 17
Candidates who have not registered earlier have been given an opportunity to complete fresh registration on the Centralised Admission Portal.
As per the revised schedule, fresh registration of unregistered candidates will remain open up to 3:00 PM on September 17, 2026.
The same deadline also applies to candidates who had already registered during Phase-I but are required to update their Class 12th result particulars.
Therefore, the notification specifically includes both categories of candidates under the first activity listed in the revised schedule.
Candidates who fall into either category are required to complete the relevant process within the deadline prescribed by the Directorate of Colleges.
The notification does not provide a later date beyond 3:00 PM on September 17, 2026 for this particular activity.
Walk-in Admissions Also Extended
The Directorate of Colleges has also extended the timeline for walk-in admissions and document verification at colleges.
Candidates can participate in walk-in admissions for programmes listed in Annexure ‘B’ up to 3:00 PM on September 17, 2026.
The process involves admission at the concerned colleges along with verification of the required documents.
The notification specifically connects the walk-in admission facility with the programmes listed in Annexure ‘B’. Candidates seeking admission under this provision are therefore covered by the schedule mentioned for those programmes.
The deadline for this activity is also September 17, 2026, at 3:00 PM.
Admission Formalities and Fee Payment Deadline
Apart from registration and walk-in admission, candidates are required to complete the remaining admission formalities.
The notification specifies that completion of admission formalities, including online payment of fee and physical verification of original documents, can be completed up to 5:00 PM on September 17, 2026.
This deadline is separate from the 3:00 PM deadline prescribed for fresh registration and walk-in admissions.
Candidates therefore have to take note of the specific time applicable to the activity they are completing.
The revised schedule clearly mentions 5:00 PM on September 17, 2026 as the deadline for completion of admission formalities, including online fee payment and physical verification of original documents.
Important Update for Candidates Already Registered in Phase-I
The latest notification also provides instructions for candidates who had already registered during Phase-I.
Such candidates are required to update their Class 12th result particulars through the Centralised Admission Portal where applicable.
The activity has been included along with fresh registration for candidates who were not registered earlier.
The deadline for this process is 3:00 PM on September 17, 2026.
Candidates who fall under the category of Phase-I registered candidates should therefore ensure that their Class 12th result particulars are updated within the specified schedule.
The notification does not provide any separate later deadline for updating these result particulars.
Walk-in Admission Limited to Programmes in Annexure ‘B’
The Directorate of Colleges has clarified the scope of the walk-in admission process by specifying that walk-in admissions and document verification are available for the programmes listed in Annexure ‘B’.
Candidates interested in this phase of the admission process should refer to the relevant programme listing while proceeding with their admission.
The notification states that the extension is intended for filling up the vacant seats under Annexure ‘B’.
Thus, the revised schedule is linked to the availability of vacant seats in the programmes covered by that annexure.
The notification does not state that all programmes across Government Degree Colleges have been reopened under the same process. Instead, it specifically refers to programmes listed in Annexure ‘B’.
Admission Under Annexure ‘A’ Stands Closed
An important point mentioned in the notification concerns programmes listed in Annexure ‘A’.
The Directorate of Colleges has stated that admission to programmes listed in Annexure ‘A’ through in-person counselling stands closed.
This clarification is included separately in the notification.
Accordingly, the extension announced in the latest notice should be understood in the context of the programmes and vacant seats covered under Annexure ‘B’, while admission to programmes listed in Annexure ‘A’ through in-person counselling has been stated to be closed.
The notification does not announce reopening of the Annexure ‘A’ in-person counselling process.
Four-Year Undergraduate Programmes Covered
The admission notification concerns Four-Year Undergraduate Programmes (FYUGP) offered through Government Degree Colleges of Jammu & Kashmir.
These programmes form part of the Phase-II admission process for the academic session 2026-27.
The notification refers to FYUGP along with Five-Year Integrated P.G. Programmes and mentions multiple-exit options in connection with the programmes.
Candidates seeking admission through the extended Phase-II process should therefore follow the schedule and procedures prescribed by the Directorate of Colleges.
The latest notice does not provide additional programme-specific details in its main schedule beyond referring candidates to the programmes listed in the relevant annexure.
Five-Year Integrated P.G. Programmes Included
The extension also applies to Five-Year Integrated P.G. Programmes (IPG) under the Phase-II admission process.
These programmes are included along with FYUGP in the subject of the latest admission notification.
The programmes are described as having multiple-exit options, as stated in the official notification.
Candidates interested in such programmes and seeking admission against vacant seats covered by Annexure ‘B’ are required to follow the revised schedule issued by the Directorate of Colleges.
The deadline for fresh registration and walk-in admission remains 3:00 PM on September 17, 2026, while the deadline for completion of admission formalities, including online fee payment and physical verification of original documents, is 5:00 PM on the same date.
Centralised Admission Portal for Registration
The Directorate of Colleges has directed candidates to use the Centralised Admission Portal for the relevant registration process.
The notification specifically mentions fresh registration of unregistered candidates on the Centralised Admission Portal.
Candidates who were registered during Phase-I are also required to use the portal for updating their Class 12th result particulars.
The notification advises candidates to regularly visit the Centralised Admission Portal for updates and further information concerning the admission process.
The portal mentioned in the notification is jkadmissions.in.
Candidates are advised in the notification to regularly visit the Centralised Admission Portal as well as the official WhatsApp Channel for Admissions 2026-27 for updates and further information.
Document Verification at Colleges
Document verification forms an important part of the walk-in admission process mentioned in the revised schedule.
The notification specifies walk-in admissions and verification of documents at colleges for programmes listed in Annexure ‘B’.
In addition, the completion of admission formalities includes physical verification of original documents.
The two references to document verification are part of the prescribed admission process.
Candidates participating in the walk-in process therefore need to follow the procedures communicated through the concerned admission process and ensure completion within the deadline specified in the notification.
The revised schedule places the deadline for walk-in admissions and verification of documents at 3:00 PM on September 17, 2026.
Online Fee Payment Included in Final Admission Formalities
The notification also specifically mentions online payment of fee as part of the completion of admission formalities.
Candidates who proceed through the admission process must complete the prescribed formalities within the notified timeline.
The deadline for completing these formalities, including online fee payment and physical verification of original documents, is 5:00 PM on September 17, 2026.
This means the admission schedule contains a distinction between the 3:00 PM deadline for fresh registration and walk-in admissions and the 5:00 PM deadline for completing admission formalities.
Candidates should take note of these timings while completing the admission process.
