NCHMCT Round 1 Seat Allotment Result 2026 Released: Check Counselling Schedule Here

Aspiring hospitality professionals can now access their B.Sc. HHA seat allocation as the national admission process shifts into high gear.

The National Council for Hotel Management and Catering Technology (NCHMCT) has officially released the Round 1 seat allotment result for the 2026-27 academic session. Candidates awaiting their placement into the prestigious Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Hospitality and Hotel Administration (HHA) programme can now verify their status through the official portal at nchmcounselling.nic.in. The seat allocation process, conducted based on NCHM JEE 2026 ranks, category quotas, and the specific institute preferences submitted by students, marks the first major milestone for thousands of prospective hoteliers across the country.

Accessing Your Allotment

To view the results, candidates must log in to the counselling portal using their registered application number and password. Upon successful login, the system will display the allotted institute and programme details. It is critical for students to download and save their allotment letter immediately, as this document will be required during the physical reporting phase and for official record-keeping. The council has emphasized that this result is a culmination of a rigorous selection process, balancing academic merit with institutional capacity.

Mandatory Next Steps for Candidates

Securing a seat is only the first phase of the admission process. Candidates who have been allotted a seat in this initial round must act swiftly to finalize their admission. The window for document verification, online verification, and the payment of the Rs 20,000 Seat Acceptance Fee (SAF) is open from June 7 to June 9, 2026. Failure to complete these formalities within the stipulated deadline will lead to the automatic cancellation of the allotted seat, shifting the vacancy into the next round of processing.

Understanding the Roadmap

Following the conclusion of this first phase, the council will process vacancy calculations on June 10, with the official list of vacant seats for subsequent rounds expected on June 11. For those who did not receive their preferred choice or are entering the process late, a window for re-registration and fresh choice-filling for the final round will open on June 12. The entire counselling architecture is designed to ensure a transparent, merit-based transition into India’s premier hotel management institutes, with the academic session officially slated to commence on July 27, 2026.

Essential Documents

To ensure a seamless verification process, candidates should keep their NCHM JEE 2026 admit card, rank card, and standard academic certificates (Class 10 and 12 mark sheets) organized. Additionally, those availing of category-based reservations must have their valid certificates ready for upload. While this current phase focuses on the B.Sc. HHA programme, candidates are encouraged to stay updated with the portal, as this remains the central hub for all developments regarding subsequent allotments and final institutional reporting.
