Who Can Participate?

Why is Applying on Time Important?

The last date for registration and choice filling is January 3, 2026 . Students are strongly advised not to wait until the final hours to apply. High website traffic on the last day can cause slow internet speeds or technical problems, which might prevent you from completing your application on time. Applying early ensures you do not miss this important opportunity to secure a seat.

If you do not join by this date, your allotted seat may be cancelled.
