Understanding Seat Allotment
Seats are given to students based on several factors. These include:
- Merit Rank: This is the student's rank in the NEET PG exam. Higher ranks get preference.
- Candidate Choices: The colleges and courses students chose during the application process.
- Seat Matrix: This refers to the total number of available seats in different courses and colleges.
- Reservation Criteria: Government rules for reserving seats for certain categories of students (like SC, ST, OBC, EWS, etc.).
What to Do After Checking the List
After finding their name on the selection list, students have two main options:
1. Accept the Allotted Seat
If a student is happy with the seat they have been offered, especially if it was their first choice, they must confirm their acceptance. Here are the steps:
- Fill Status Retention Form: This form tells the authorities that the student wants to keep the seat. It must be filled by December 6, 2025, 5:30 PM .
- Report to the Allotted College: After filling the form, students need to visit the college given to them.
- Document Verification: At the college, students' original documents will be checked. This is an important step. Common documents include NEET PG admit card, rank card, degree certificates, internship completion certificate, caste certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, and identity proof.
- Admission Letter: If the documents are found correct, the college will give an acknowledgement slip and an admission letter.
It is important to know that seats are only 'provisional' at first. This means the seat is confirmed only after all documents are successfully checked by the college authorities.
2. Seek an Upgrade for a Better Seat
Some students might not be satisfied with the seat they got and wish for a better college or course in the next rounds of counselling. Here's what they need to do:
- Do Not Fill Status Retention Form: If a student wants to upgrade, they should NOT fill the status retention form for the current seat.
- Wait for the Next Round: The student should wait for the next round of seat allotment.
- Fill Fresh Choices: In the next round, students will be able to fill new choices for colleges and courses, hoping for a better allotment.
Students must decide carefully based on their preference and future plans. Missing deadlines can lead to losing a chance at admission. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, students should always refer to the official website of the State Common Entrance Test Cell.
