DBRAIT Counselling 2026: Revised Schedule Through August 3

DBRAIT's revised 2026 counselling schedule runs from July 28 to August 3 for diploma, BTech and lateral-entry applicants.

DBRAIT counselling 2026 has a revised in-person schedule from July 28 to August 3. The official notice covers diploma, degree and lateral-entry admission at Dr. B. R.

What changed?

DBRAIT has cancelled the earlier counselling schedules published through press notes dated July 5 and July 6, 2026.

  • Claims and objections on the provisional merit list are accepted on July 25 and July 26, 2026.
  • The final merit list is due on July 27, 2026 at 5:00 PM.
  • DBRAIT registration runs from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM on the applicable counselling day; counselling starts at 10:00 AM.
  • The revised counselling window runs from July 28 to August 3, 2026.
  • Candidates must bring original certificates and Xerox copies for verification.
  • Applications must have been submitted online through the Common College Admission Portal; the notice says no hard-copy application will be accepted.
