Who is affected?
This update affects candidates seeking Diploma in Pharmacy admission for the 2026-27 session through the Punjab board’s online counselling process. It also affects already registered candidates and new candidates who may seek institute-level admission against remaining vacancies in the third round.
Required student action
If you still need a seat, complete second-round registration by August 3 and submit your preferred choices by August 4. Check the result on August 6. If allotted, report to the allotted institute within the August 6-9 window, complete document checking, and finish nodal verification, fee deposit and admission confirmation by the applicable deadline.
Step-by-step instructions
- Open the official PSBTE&IT website.
- Read the official revised Diploma in Pharmacy counselling circular and confirm the round that applies to you.
- Use the official admission link provided by the board to register during July 31-August 3.
- Fill and save choices in preference order no later than August 4.

- Report to the allotted institute with the documents required by the official admission system between August 6 and August 9.

What happens if a deadline is missed?
A candidate who misses registration or choice filling may not be considered in the second-round allotment. An allotted candidate who does not complete reporting, verification, fee deposit and confirmation within the specified window may lose that admission opportunity. Remaining candidates can check the third-round vacancy process, but seats and institute options will depend on availability.
