SRMJEEE 2026 Phase 1 Results and Counselling Dates Announced

The SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST) is set to announce the results for the first phase of the SRM Joint Engineering Entrance Examination (SRMJEEE) 2026 on May 5. Candidates who took the exam can access their rank cards on the official SRMIST website using their application number and date of birth.

Following the release of results, the counselling process for phase 1 will begin on May 7 at 3 pm. This marks the start of a critical period for engineering aspirants seeking admission to SRM’s BTech programs, as they will be able to fill in their course preferences and secure their seats.

Understanding SRMJEEE and Its Role in Engineering Admissions

SRMJEEE is an entrance exam conducted by SRMIST for admission into its various engineering undergraduate programs. The exam is divided into multiple phases to accommodate a large number of applicants and provide flexibility in scheduling. Phase 1 exams were held from April 24 to 29, with subsequent phases planned for June and July.

The exam results are released as rank cards, which indicate a candidate’s performance relative to others. Only those who qualify in phase 1 are eligible to participate in the counselling and seat allocation process. This system ensures that admissions are merit-based and transparent.

Candidates must pay a registration fee of Rs 10,000 to participate in counselling. Upon seat allotment, a counselling fee of Rs 1 lakh is required to confirm admission. Failure to complete these payments will result in cancellation of the candidate’s admission.

Why This Counselling Phase Is Crucial for Engineering Aspirants

The counselling phase is a decisive step in the admission process. It allows candidates to select their preferred BTech courses and campuses based on their rank and seat availability. SRMIST offers multiple campuses across India, including locations in Chennai, Delhi-NCR, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, giving students various options to consider.

Securing a seat through counselling not only confirms admission but also requires timely fee payment to avoid forfeiting the opportunity. This phase also reflects the competitive nature of engineering admissions, where students must act promptly and strategically to secure their desired programs.
