- Choice Locking - You should lock your choices within the specified time. If you fail to lock your choices, then the last saved choices will be automatically locked.
- Allotment - Allotment is based on the input given by the candidates. You can check your allotment on the official portal. You have to pay the refundable seat acceptance fee of INR 5,000 online and download the allotment letter. If you do not pay the fee, your allotment will be cancelled and you will not be considered for the upgradation round. You can also opt for upgradation after accepting the current allotment.
- Document Verification and Admission - You have to report to the allocated institute with the allotment letter and other documents for physical verification. Your allotment will be cancelled and you will not be considered for the upgradation round if you do not report for the document verification.
The seat acceptance fee is transferred to the allocated institute after the counselling process. You can ask the institute for a refund if you do not take the admission. If you have paid the seat acceptance fee in any earlier rounds, it will be considered for the mop-up round allotment.
