Seat allotment is based on merit cum preference and reservation rules through the counselling process. You should clearly indicate the institutes which you want to join in order of preference. If required, a physical round of counselling can also be conducted in which you have to appear in front of the counselling committee. If you are allotted a seat in the first round of counselling, you have to compulsorily join that college within the prescribed time and complete all the admission formalities.

If you are looking for an upgrade, you have to initially accept the first allotment and join the college, otherwise, you will not be eligible for the second round. If you do not join the allotted seat, it is considered vacant. Any seats that become available due to non-joining/resignation are made available in the subsequent rounds.

You can also participate in the second round if you do not get any allotment in the first round. Once allotted a seat, you have to report at the allocated institute within the provided time to complete admission formalities and confirm the admission.
