SLIET SET 2026: Merit List

SLIET prepares a separate merit list for each SET type after the result is declared. The merit list is published on slietexam.co.in alongside the result.

Your position on the merit list decides your counselling priority. A higher rank means more choices during seat allotment.

SET Type Program Merit List Structure
SET-I ICD (Integrated Certificate-Diploma) Common merit list; trade/branch allotted based on rank and choice filled
SET-II Integrated M.Sc. Separate merit list; specialisation allotted as per rank and choice
SET-III B.E. Lateral Entry Four separate group-wise merit lists — Group A (Electronics/CS/Instrumentation/Electrical), Group B (Mechanical), Group C (Chemical & Food), Group D (Civil)
SET-IV MBA Single merit list for the MBA programme
SET-V Ph.D. Merit list to be published after August 7, 2026
SET-VI / SET-VII M.Sc. / M.Tech. Separate merit lists per discipline/specialisation

Candidates can check their rank for their specific SET type on slietexam.co.in after logging in. Knowing where one stands relative to total candidates helps in understanding which trades and programs are within reach before the choice-filling window opens.

Merit List for B.E. Lateral Entry

For B.E. Lateral Entry (SET-III), SLIET prepares four separate merit lists based on discipline group. Group A covers Electronics/CS/Instrumentation/Electrical; Group B covers Mechanical; Group C covers Chemical & Food; Group D covers Civil Engineering.

Your rank is within your applicable group, not a single combined list.

SLIET SET 2026: Seat Allotment

SLIET conducts online counselling in multiple rounds at slietexam.co.in. The 1st Round ICD seat allotment is currently live.

If allotted a seat, the token fee must be paid by May 28, 2026 to confirm it. Missing this deadline means the allotment is cancelled.

How the counselling process works

  1. Choice Filling: Log in to slietexam.co.in and fill preferred programs and trades in order of priority within the given window.
  2. Seat Allotment Published: SLIET publishes the round-wise seat allotment based on merit rank and choices.
  3. Token Fee Payment: Pay ₹5,000 to confirm the allotted seat. This amount is adjustable against the full programme fees at the time of final reporting.
  4. Upgradation Rounds: Participate in Round 2 and Round 3 for a higher-preference trade or program. If an upgrade is available based on rank, it happens automatically. The original allotment is retained if no upgrade is found.
  5. Final Reporting: After the final round, report to SLIET campus with original documents and pay the remaining programme fees.
Round Programme Status
Round 1 — ICD Seat Allotment ICD (SET-I) LIVE — Token fee deadline: May 28, 2026
Round 1 — B.E. Lateral Entry / M.Tech. Allotment B.E. Lateral Entry, M.Sc., M.Tech. (SET-III / VI / VII) Ongoing (choice filling: May 19–29, 2026)

Round 3 — Upgradation All programs ~June 2026 (schedule to be announced)
Special / Spot Round Remaining vacant seats June–July 2026 (schedule to be announced)

The token fee of ₹5,000 is only a seat confirmation deposit, not the full programme fee. The full fees are paid at final reporting after document verification at the SLIET campus.

If vacant seats remain after all three regular rounds, a special or spot round is announced for eligible candidates who did not get seats earlier.

Missed Token Fee Deadline

If the ₹5,000 token fee is not paid by May 28, 2026, the Round 1 ICD seat allotment will be cancelled. The candidate may still be eligible to participate in later rounds if seats are available and they remain in the merit list.

The Round 1 allotment cannot be reinstated.

Seat Upgrade After Token Fee Payment

Yes. After paying the token fee in Round 1, candidates can participate in Round 2 and Round 3 upgradations. If a higher-preference trade or program becomes available for the rank, the upgrade is given automatically.

If no upgrade is found, the original allotment stays and the token fee remains valid.

Minimum Qualifying Score

SLIET SET does not publish a fixed minimum qualifying score. All candidates who appear and meet eligibility criteria receive a merit rank, and admission depends on rank, available seats, and choice filling. A 5% relaxation in the qualifying examination percentage applies to SC/ST/OBC-NCL/PwD candidates.

Negative Marking

Yes, for SET-I, SET-II, SET-III, SET-IV, SET-VI, and SET-VII, there is a penalty of -0.25 marks for every wrong answer. SET-V (Ph.D.) has no negative marking.

Merit List for B.E. Lateral Entry

For B.E. Lateral Entry (SET-III), SLIET prepares four separate merit lists based on your discipline group. Group A covers Electronics/CS/Instrumentation/Electrical; Group B covers Mechanical; Group C covers Chemical & Food; Group D covers Civil Engineering. Your rank is within your applicable group, not a single combined list.

Token Fee for Seat Acceptance

The token fee is ₹5,000. It confirms your allotted seat in the counselling round and is later adjusted against your full programme fees at the time of final reporting. Missing the token fee deadline cancels your allotment.

Token Fee Deadline Consequences

If you don't pay the ₹5,000 token fee by May 28, 2026, your Round 1 ICD seat allotment will be cancelled. You may still be eligible to participate in later rounds if seats are available and you remain in the merit list, but your Round 1 allotment cannot be reinstated.

Seat Upgradation Process

Yes. After paying the token fee in Round 1, you can participate in Round 2 and Round 3 upgradations. If a higher-preference trade or program becomes available for your rank, you get the upgrade automatically. If no upgrade is found, your original allotment stays and your token fee remains valid.

Number of Seat Allotment Rounds

SLIET typically conducts 3 regular rounds (including upgradation rounds) and 1 special/spot round for remaining seats. In 2026, the 1st Round ICD seat allotment is currently live. Further rounds will be announced on slietexam.co.in.

Programmes Covered by SLIET SET
