- Candidates are ranked based on their performance in the NCHMCT JEE exam. Higher ranks are given priority during the seat allocation process.
- Choice Filling: After registering for counseling, candidates fill in their preferred courses and colleges. The choices made during this step significantly impact seat allocation.
- Seat Availability: The allocation is also dependent on the number of seats available in the chosen courses and colleges. If a preferred choice is fully booked, candidates may be allocated to their next preferred option.
- Category Reservations: Seats are reserved for various categories (e.g., SC, ST, OBC, EWS) as per government norms. This may affect the seat allocation for candidates from different categories.
