Application forms and submission procedure

Step-1: Applications for UPTU (now being called UPSEE, or Uttar Pradesh State Entrance Examination) are accepted online through their official webpage. The process starts with a form which requires the applicant’s personal (email ID, mobile number, parent’s name, address, etc.) and academic information, as well as a selection of three convenient test centers in preferential order.

Step-2: After filling everything out, a password needs to be created which, along with the candidate’s username, will be used as login details throughout the online application. After submitting the form, the system automatically creates an application number that needs to be noted down and kept safely for further reference.

Step-3: The next step is to upload scanned copies of-

• The latest passport-sized photograph,
• The applicant’s left-hand thumb impression, and
• Signature

Step-4: After the scanned documents have been successfully uploaded and saved, the exam fee payment needs to be paid at last. Male candidates belonging to the general/OBC category need to pay Rs. 1200, while the cost for female candidates and applicant’s from the SC/ST category is reduced to Rs. 600.

The only mode of fee payment is online transfer either through credit/debit card or net banking. No refund policy is available after the payment has been made, so the candidate is requested to be fully aware at all times during the application process.

Following the successful deposition of the exam fee, a confirmation page that acknowledges the student’s completion of the online process will appear on the screen. It is recommended that the candidate take a printout of this page and keep the document in possession along with the application number provided earlier until the completion of admissions.

The examination centers are distributed amongst 41 locations within Uttar Pradesh itself and 8 cities outside the state.

The amount can only be paid online (credit/debit card, net banking). After confirmation of the transaction, the required scanned documents need to be uploaded for the purpose of verification. Given below is a list of the desired soft copies:
