Counseling and Seat Allocation
Seat allocation is based on merit scores obtained in the entrance examination. The process includes multiple rounds of counseling where candidates can make choices for branches and colleges according to their preferences.
Each round begins with the declaration of cutoff ranks for different categories. Candidates who meet or exceed these cutoffs are eligible to participate in that round. A detailed list of available seats is published, showing the number of vacancies in each branch and category.
The choice filling strategy involves careful consideration of cutoff trends, branch popularity, and personal preferences. It is advisable to select a mix of preferred branches and safety options to maximize chances of securing admission.
Candidates who wish to change their choices must do so during the designated time slots provided by the counseling authority. Once a seat is allocated, it cannot be changed unless through official withdrawal procedures.

Exam Preparation Strategy
Preparing for entrance examinations requires a systematic approach and consistent effort over several months. The first step is to understand the syllabus thoroughly, which includes topics from Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and General Aptitude.
A detailed study plan should be created with specific targets for each subject. Regular practice tests help identify weak areas and improve time management skills. Solving previous years' question papers provides insight into exam patterns and difficulty levels.
It is crucial to maintain a balance between theory learning and problem-solving practice. Joining coaching classes or online preparation platforms can provide additional support and resources. Regular revision sessions are essential for retaining concepts effectively.
Time management during exams is critical. Candidates should allocate time based on question difficulty and avoid spending too much time on a single question. Practicing mock interviews or group discussions can help develop confidence and communication skills.
Counseling Tips
The counseling process involves making strategic choices for branches and colleges based on cutoff trends and personal preferences. It is advisable to research the reputation, facilities, and placement records of different institutions before finalizing choices.
Selecting a mix of preferred, safe, and backup options increases chances of securing admission. Monitoring updates from official websites ensures awareness of important dates and changes in procedures.
Understanding the seat allocation mechanism helps make informed decisions about choice filling. Avoiding overconfidence in cutoff predictions and staying flexible with preferences is key to successful counseling.
