MDUCEE 2026 Round 1 seat allotment is expected to be declared on July 1, 2026 at mduadmission.samarth.edu.in — students must log in, pay the seat acceptance fee online, and report to the allotted college with original documents to confirm their admission.
Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU), Rohtak conducts MDUCEE — the MDU Common Entrance Exam — for admission to undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across affiliated colleges in Haryana. Once the counselling merit list is published and document verification is completed, MDU releases the Round 1 seat allotment result. Students have a short, fixed window to accept the allotment and physically report to their assigned institution. Missing either step results in forfeiture of the allotted seat.
- Round 1 seat allotment is expected on July 1, 2026 on the official MDU admission portal at mduadmission.samarth.edu.in.
- Log in using your application number and password to view the allotted college, programme, and category.
- Pay the seat acceptance fee online within the deadline — non-payment leads to automatic cancellation of the allotment.
- Choose Freeze, Float, or Slide at the time of payment to indicate your preference for subsequent rounds.
- Report physically to the allotted college with originals and self-attested photocopies of all required documents before the reporting deadline.

How to Accept Your MDUCEE 2026 Seat Allotment
Viewing your allotment alone does not confirm your seat. You must pay the seat acceptance fee online before the deadline to lock it in. Follow these steps:
- Log in to your account on mduadmission.samarth.edu.in.
- Go to the Seat Acceptance or Fee Payment section in your student dashboard.
- Select your allotment preference — Freeze, Float, or Slide (see below).
- Pay the seat acceptance fee using net banking, debit card, credit card, or UPI.
- Download and save the payment receipt — this document is required during physical reporting.
Students who do not pay within the deadline will have their Round 1 allotment cancelled automatically. The fee is non-refundable if you later forfeit the seat after payment.
Freeze, Float, and Slide: MDUCEE 2026 Seat Allotment Options Explained
When accepting your seat, you must choose one of three options. This choice determines whether you are considered for an upgrade in later rounds. Select carefully — you cannot usually change this after payment.
| Option | What It Means | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Freeze | You accept the allotted seat and college permanently and will not participate in further rounds. | Students fully satisfied with the current allotment. |
| Float | You accept the current seat but want to be considered for a better college or programme in subsequent rounds. If an upgrade is available, it is assigned automatically. | Students who want the current seat secured but prefer a higher-priority college or programme. |
| Slide | You accept the current college but want to be considered for a better programme within the same college in subsequent rounds. | Students satisfied with the allotted college but who prefer a different programme offered there. |
Important: If you choose Float or Slide, you must still report physically to the currently allotted institution within the deadline. Not reporting means the seat is forfeited regardless of the option chosen.
Documents Required for Reporting to the MDUCEE-Allotted College

How to Report to Your MDUCEE 2026 Allotted University or College
Physical reporting is the final step to secure your MDUCEE 2026 admission. Follow this process carefully to avoid losing your seat.
- Note the exact reporting deadline printed on your allotment letter — reporting even one day late results in seat forfeiture.
- Collect all original documents and prepare a complete self-attested photocopy set for submission.
- Reach the allotted institution on or before the last reporting date, during the college’s designated working hours.
- Submit your documents at the admission counter. College staff will verify originals and retain the photocopies.
- Pay any remaining institutional fees — tuition, hostel, or other charges — as directed by the college at the time of reporting.
- Collect your provisional admission slip or acknowledgement receipt from the institution as confirmation of successful reporting.
Students who chose Float or Slide must complete reporting at the currently allotted institution first. If an upgraded allotment is issued in Round 2, they will need to report to the new institution and complete withdrawal formalities at the current one before the specified date.
