What Candidates Seeking Phase 2 Upgradation Must Know
If you are unsatisfied with your Phase 1 allotment and plan to opt for higher preferences in Phase 2:
Maintain Your Safety Net: You must still complete both online self-reporting and physical reporting at your Phase 1 college. Failing to report in Phase 1 cancels your current seat immediately, leaving you with zero reserved options going into Phase 2.
Automatic Cancellation Rule: If you secure a new seat in Phase 2 option entry, your Phase 1 seat is automatically cancelled and reallocated to another applicant. Your tuition fee status will automatically transfer to the new institute through the portal.
No New Seat in Phase 2? If Phase 2 yields no allotment upgrade, your Phase 1 confirmed seat remains \(100\%\) safe and intact.
08 00 PM IST - 24 Jul'26
Retaining Your Phase 1 Seat While Participating in Phase 2
If you secured a seat in Phase 1 but wish to explore higher preference choices in the upcoming Phase 2 round, you must follow the Float / Upgrade pathway:
Complete Phase 1 Reporting: Perform online self-reporting and physically report to your Phase 1 college. This guarantees your current seat as a safety net.
Enter Phase 2 Web Options: When Phase 2 option entry opens, submit your revised choices.
Automatic Transfer or Retention:
If allocated a higher preference seat in Phase 2, your Phase 1 seat automatically cancels and transfers to the new institute.
If no seat is allotted in Phase 2, your Phase 1 confirmed seat remains \(100\%\) secure.
07 30 PM IST - 24 Jul'26
