Non-reporting and non-payment of fees will be considered as not willing to join, and the allotment order will be cancelled. Such candidates will lose the allotted seat and will not be considered for further rounds of counselling.

Non-reporting and non-payment of fees will be considered as not willing to join, and the allotment order will be cancelled. Such candidates will lose the allotted seat and will not be considered for further rounds of counselling.

For example, if a candidate is allotted choice 5, they can report to the nearest TFCs, pay the necessary fees and wait for choices 1,2,3,4.
