Choice 1: The candidate is satisfied with the allocated seat and is willing to report to the allotted college. He/she is not interested in further allotment of seats in any subsequent round for any discipline.

Choice 2: The candidate is satisfied with the allocated seat but wishes to participate in the next round (for upgrading).

If a candidate opts for choice 1 or 2 but is unable to join the allocated institute, Such candidates have to mandatorily report to the allocated institute. Not reporting to the institute within the assigned duration will be considered as blocking of the seat, and will attract a penalty.

Collection of Admission Order

Candidates will have to carry original copies of all the documents that were uploaded during the registration process. After verifying the authenticity of these documents and comparing them to those uploaded online, the institute will issue admission letters to eligible candidates. If the authorities find any discrepancy in these two sets of documents, the admission of such a candidate will be cancelled, and the fees paid by him/her will be forfeited.
