7. Seat Confirmation Options

7.1 Freeze: This option is applicable when the candidate is allocated their first preferred seat or

first choice. It allows the candidate to participate in the next round for possible upgradation
to a higher preference.

8. Upgradation Process

their first choice and/or is unsatisfied with the allocated seat and wishes to participate in
the next round for possible upgradation to a higher preference.

This deposit is a one-time payment for potential upgradation in subsequent rounds. This fee
is refundable and the candidate has to apply through the portal for refund.

8.3 Upon payment, the candidate's seat will be reserved, and they will be considered as a
participant for the next round.

8.4 If the candidate gets upgraded to a higher preference in the subsequent round, they can
accept the allocated seat and proceed with final admission, withdrawing their claim for the
previously allocated seat.

8.5 If the candidate does not get upgraded in subsequent rounds, they can accept the
already allocated seat and proceed with final admission.

9. Final Admission and Document Verification

9.1 After allocation of preferred seats, students have to visit the allotted college with all the
original documents along with one set of photocopies of self attested documents for physical
 21

document verification within the scheduled time slot and date allotted. (Separate notification
will be issued for counseling schedule).

9.2 During the physical document verification, the college will verify the following within the
stipulated timeline:

a. Minimum eligibility of the candidate.

b. Program-specific eligibility of the candidate.

c. Validity and authenticity of the documents/certificates submitted by the candidate.

9.3 If the college requires more clarity or information during the admission process, it
may raise a query to the candidate. The candidate must fulfill the query within the
stipulated time.

9.4 After the physical verification, the college will either 'Approve' or 'Reject' the provisionally
allocated seat of the candidate.

9.5 For approved candidates, the payment link on the student dashboard will become
active. The student must pay the admission fees within the desired time (usually within
72 hours).

9.6 The candidate will have to pay the Admission fee for the approved seat. The admission
process will be considered complete only after the successful payment of the admission
fee. Candidates are required to check the Payment Status in the dashboard after the
payment made for the allocated seat. Payment Status “Successful” shall be considered
as provisional admission to the specific course.

9.7 If a candidate fails to pay the admission fee within the stipulated time, it will be
considered as a cancellation of the provisionally allocated seat. The allocated seat will be
forfeited, and the candidate will not be considered for any subsequent allocation rounds. The
candidate will lose all rights to the allocated seat and will not be eligible for any future
allocation rounds. However, the candidate may have the option to apply for the spot
round /Mop-up round/ late entry round.
 22

10. Admission Process Flow

10.1 Number of Rounds:

a) The admission process will typically consist of two to three rounds of allocation
and a spot round.

b) Additional spot rounds may be conducted based on seat availability/considering

academic calendar.

10.2.1 On the declaration of the counseling date (as per the counseling schedule), candidates
who are allocated the seat of their first choice/preference must ʻFreezeʼ the allocated
seat on the same day and get themselves admitted to the college within the given
timeline.

10.2.2 The provision for accepting a particular allocated seat is valid only for the round in
which the seat was allocated to the candidate. If a student does not seek admission
against the best seat allocated to them, their claim for the seat will be withdrawn.

10.2.3 Candidates who receive their first preferred seat will not be eligible for upgrades.

10.3 CASE II: If the allotted seat is other than first preference.

10.3.1 Candidates who are allocated seats other than their first preference have the following
options:

(a) Freeze Option: By choosing Freeze, the candidate can proceed with the final
admission process and seek admission within the given timeline.

(b) Upgrade Option: By choosing Upgrade, the candidature will be considered for the next
subsequent allocation round. If the candidate gets upgraded to a higher preference in the
next subsequent round, they must freeze the newly allocated seat and proceed with the
final admission. Their claim for previously allocated seat will be withdrawn thereafter.
 23

If the candidate does not get upgraded to a higher preference, they have to freeze the
already allocated seat (from the previous round) and proceed with the final admission.

10.3 In both the cases (Case I and Case II),

10.4.1 If a candidate accepts the seat but does not take admission, their claim for the seat will
be withdrawn. As a result, they will not be allowed to participate in subsequent
rounds of admission.

10.4.2 If a candidate shows no activity (i.e., does not accept the seat), their claim for the seat will
be withdrawn, and they will not be allowed to participate in subsequent rounds of
admission.

10.4.3 However, it's important to mention that such candidates may have the opportunity to
appear in the spot round of admission when announced, depending upon the availability
of seats and such candidates shall not be allowed for late entry under any
circumstances.

10.5 CASE III: If case of No-Show /No-Activity (Candidate does not Accept / Freeze /
Upgrade)

10.5.1 If a seat is allocated to a candidate and they do not opt for Accept, Freeze, or Upgrade
before the last date/time specified for the given allocation round for any reason:

10.5.1.1 No activity will be treated as a decline to the provisionally allocated seat and such
candidates will no longer be able to participate in subsequent rounds of admission.

10.5.1.2 Such candidates may have the opportunity to appear in the spot round of admission
when announced, depending upon the availability of seats.

10.5.1.3 Such candidates shall not be allowed for late entry under any circumstances.

11. Seat Cancellation

timeline will lead to the cancellation of the Allocated Seat.
