The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhubaneswar has released the initial list of admissions in the Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) for the 2025-26 academic session.
This list, issued today, which will be followed by three additional lists in the next few days, is the start of the four-round seat allocation of this special four-year B.Sc. B.Ed. (Secondary Stage) dual degree program.
Candidates were already enlisted in the program and took part in the National Common Entrance Test (NCET) 2025, and these now have the facility to view the selection status and subsequent steps toward completing the admission procedure.
ITEP 2025 First Round Admission List Released
The first round admission list includes names of candidates who have been offered provisional seats in one of the four major disciplines under the ITEP program — Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Economics.
Candidates are shortlisted based on their NCET 2025 scores and eligibility criteria such as marks obtained in Class 12th subjects relevant to the chosen discipline.
Candidates who find their names in the list must proceed to confirm their admission by paying the seat booking fee by July 6, 2025 (11:59 PM). Failing to do so will result in automatic cancellation of the allotted seat.

If a candidate fails to pay the fee by the deadline, their seat will be automatically canceled, and they will not be considered in subsequent rounds.
