Important Steps After Allotment
After checking the provisional seat allotment result, students must take certain actions depending on whether they are happy with the seat offered:
If Satisfied with the Allotted Seat:
Students who are happy with the college and course offered must fill out a " status retention form ". By doing this, they accept the seat. It means they will not be able to take part in any future counselling rounds for admission. After filling this form, students must complete the "physical joining" process.
For physical joining, students need to visit the allotted college in person. They must carry all the necessary original documents for verification. They also need to pay the required course fee at the college within the given deadline. Make sure to check the college's specific reporting dates and times.
Factors for Seat Allocation:
The allocation of seats is done based on several key factors. These include the student's **NEET UG rank**, the number of **seats available** in different colleges and courses, the **preferences** filled by the student during counselling, and the **reservation policy** set by the government for different categories of students.
What Happens Next?
Students who do not get a seat in this **Round 3** allotment, or those who are not satisfied with their allotted seat and did not fill the status retention form, will still have another chance. They can take part in the " stray vacancy round ". This round is held to fill any seats that are still empty after all the main counselling rounds are over.
The details and schedule for the stray vacancy round will be announced by the **State Common Entrance Test Cell** later. Students should stay updated by checking the official website regularly.
It is crucial for all aspiring medical and dental students to understand these steps clearly to secure their admission successfully. Always refer to the official website for accurate dates and instructions.
