Document Verification Stage
Candidates who qualify for document verification must appear in person at the designated verification center with original documents and photocopies. The verification committee cross-checks submitted information against authentic records to ensure accuracy and prevent fraud.
Merit Ranking and Seat Allocation
Based on merit, candidates are ranked according to their aggregate scores in qualifying examinations. The final rank list is published on the university website and shared with applicants via SMS and email notifications. Seats are allocated based on preferences chosen by students during the counseling session, subject to availability and category-wise reservations.
Seat Acceptance and Fee Payment
Once a seat is allocated, candidates must confirm their acceptance by paying the required fees within the specified deadline. Failure to do so results in automatic forfeiture of the allocated seat. The fee payment options include online transactions, bank transfers, and cash payments at designated centers.
