Counselling Process

1. Registration

• Admission Application Form: Applicants need to fill the Admission Application Form and make the payment of the applicable fees online. This should be done as per the admission notification schedule announced by the University. Please note that provisional registration alone does not guarantee admission, and candidates must submit the complete Admission Application Form as per the admission schedule.

• Online Form Completion: Candidates should complete the online admission application form by providing all the required information. It is important to upload a recent photograph in the appropriate box. Candidates are advised to review the entries carefully before submitting the form, as there is no option for editing after submission. After submitting the form, candidates should download and print a copy for their records.

• Communication from the University: All information and communication regarding admission will be shared through the University's official website. Candidates should regularly check the website for updates. Unless there are extraordinary circumstances, individual communication will not be sent.

• Photograph Specifications: Minimum size of 35x45 mm with at least 75% coverage of the candidate's face and head. A caption indicating the candidate's name and the date photograph was taken should be at the bottom.

2. Choice Filling for Counselling:

• During the final admission application form submission, candidates are required to submit their choices for institutes and programs/branches in the order of their preference. This is an important step in the counselling process. Candidates should carefully consider and list all the possible choices they are interested in studying.
• It is crucial to note that no changes to the preference order will be allowed after the submission of the final admission application form. Therefore, candidates should thoroughly evaluate their options and finalize their preferences before submitting the form.

It is recommended to carefully research and consider various factors such as specialization, location, facilities, and career prospects while making the choice filling decisions.
• Candidates should refer to the official admission notification and follow the instructions provided by the University regarding choice filling for counselling.

3. Seat Allotment

There are many factors that are counted at the time of allotment of seat, the factors are the merit of the candidate, availability of seats, and preference selected by the candidate. There are 2 rounds of counselling through which a candidate will be allotted seats. The candidates who have been allotted seats have to download the seat allotment letter for admission in the institute. 

Freeze, Float & Withdraw

When a candidate is allotted a seat in the first round of counselling, they are presented with three options: Freeze, Float, or Withdraw. Each option carries its own implications and requirements.

1. Freeze: By choosing the Freeze option, the candidate signifies their acceptance of the allotted seat. To confirm their decision, they must pay an admission fee of Rs. 10,000 online.

However, if they change their mind and wish to participate in subsequent counselling rounds, they must register again and pay a counselling fee of Rs. 2,000.
2. Float: Opting for the Float option also requires the candidate to pay an admission fee of Rs. 10,000 online. If the candidate does not receive any seats in the next round of counselling, the previously allotted seat will remain valid. This option allows the candidate to keep their current seat while keeping the possibility open for a better seat in subsequent rounds.
3. Withdraw: Selecting the Withdraw option means that the candidate chooses to exit the counselling process. In such a case, the candidate will no longer be considered for any further seat allotments. If they wish to re-enter the counselling process, they must register again in a subsequent round.
