4. During counselling, candidates must carry the documents for verification, such as IPMAT scorecard, admit card, Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets, passing certificates, category certificate, domicile certificate, photo ID proof, passport-sized photographs, etc.

5. Seats are allotted to candidates based on their IPMAT rank. After the seat allotment, candidates who are satisfied with their allotted seat need to confirm their acceptance by paying the required admission fees within the specified time frame. This step confirms their seat in the programme.
