  • Before you lock in, double-check your choices as there will not be another chance to modify the preferences.

  • NEET counselling also categorizes the seats reserved for various kinds of candidates in each college, such as General, Scheduled Castes/Tribes, and OBCs.

  • If you are satisfied with your seat allocation in the 1st Round of counselling and are willing to take admission, report to the allotted college within the specified time.

  • If you are unhappy with your seat allotment and want to change it, you can request a seat upgrade in the next round.

  • You must register for each new round of counselling up to the mop-up round.

  • One major thing to remember after the 1st round of counselling is that you will have to complete the choice filling process again, regardless of whether you completed it in the previous round.

  • Candidates who did not receive seats in both rounds do not need to register for the mop-up round. They must, however, re-enter their choices.

  • The fee of the counselling registration varies by category and is non-refundable.

  • If the candidate does not join the college in the second or following rounds, the security deposit will be lost. In a deemed university, it would cost around INR 2 lakh. If the candidate chooses to 'free exit' by relinquishing the security deposit, they will be eligible to participate in the mop-up round or in-state counselling.

  • Those who accepted the seats in the 2nd round of counselling on the other hand are not eligible for the mop round or any state-level counselling.
