Jadavpur University has started decentralised counselling and spot admission from 15 October to fill 148 vacant undergraduate engineering seats out of a total 1,190. The process is based on general merit ranks.
Students can apply online and pay the fee until 23 October. The provisional valid applicant list and discrepancy list will be published on 24 October, with a grievance window open until 6 pm on 25 October.
The final applicant list will be released on 26 October. Document verification and spot admission will take place from 28 October to 31 October at the TEQIP Building.
The 148 unfilled seats represent about 12.4% of the total engineering intake, a notable gap that JU is now trying to close through a late-cycle decentralised process. Students who missed earlier rounds now have a second window, but the compressed timeline, application closes in a week, grievances settled in a day, and admission completed by month-end, puts pressure on candidates to act fast. The outcome will show whether a merit-based spot admission can absorb all remaining seats before the academic session begins.
