Procedure for Admission to BPT through BOPEE: The Jammu and Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BOPEE) conducts counseling for BPT admissions through either online or offline (physical) modes, depending on the notification issued. The procedures for both modes are as follows:

Online Counseling:

• Candidates are required to fill in the Online Preference Form, indicating their choices of courses and colleges.
• Based on the candidate's merit, preferences, reservation category, and seat availability, BOPEE will allot seats through an automated online process.

Offline/Physical Counseling:

• Candidates must appear in person at the BOPEE offices in Jammu or Srinagar on the scheduled counseling dates, which are notified in advance.
• Seat allotment is done through a merit-cum-preference basis, adhering to reservation policies and subject to seat availability. The process is conducted via video conferencing between the Jammu and Srinagar offices to maintain fairness and coordination.
• Candidates who fail to report on the scheduled date and time will lose their claim to any previously available seat. If the Board allows late entry as a special case, the candidate can only choose from the seats available at that point—regardless of their higher merit—and cannot claim seats that were previously allotted to others.
