Choice Filling Guidelines
Candidates should aim to fill as many college and course options as possible. This increases the chances of securing a seat.
Prioritize choices according to preference. Arrange the list carefully. Refer to the official seat matrix and previous year's cutoffs when prioritizing.
Review all selected options thoroughly. Save and lock the choices only after careful verification. Document verification must be completed before participating in option entry.
The mock seat allotment results will help candidates assess their potential outcomes. Adjust preferences if modification is allowed after the mock round.
Seat allocation depends on rank, category, seat availability, and the order of choices entered by the candidate.
Save a copy of the final choice list for future reference. This list is essential for tracking selections.
