JoSAA/CSAB Counseling Process
MPI Mumbai follows the standardized JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) and CSAB (Central Seat Allocation Board) counseling procedures for admissions. The process involves multiple rounds of seat allocation based on rank, preferences, and availability.
Round 1: Registration and Preference Filling
Students must register on the JoSAA portal and fill in their preferences for programs and colleges. The preference list is crucial, as it determines the seat allocation based on the student's rank and preferences.
Round 2: Seat Allotment
After all registrations are complete, seats are allocated based on merit and preferences. Students who qualify for a seat receive an allotment letter indicating their allocated college and program.
Round 3: Reporting and Fee Payment
Students must report to the allotted college within the specified deadline and pay the required fees to confirm their admission.
Round 4: Spot Round (if applicable)
In case of vacant seats after the main rounds, a spot round is conducted for last-minute allocations. This ensures that all eligible students get a chance to secure admission if seats become available.
