You can add multiple college choices to make sure that there is no disappointment in the future for not securing a seat
It is important that you have arranged these colleges in the order of your preference
You must also choose a branch along with the college. For instance, if you are applying for B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, your choice could be “College of Engineering and Technology (CET), Mechanical Branch” and this will be considered as one choice
You will be able to swap or move your choices or options to change your preferences
You can and should select as many choices for colleges and branches as possible on the basis of their priority to have better chances of getting a seat
