- Choice Filling: After registering for counseling, candidates fill in their preferred courses and colleges. The choices made during this step significantly impact seat allocation.
- Seat Availability: The allocation is also dependent on the number of seats available in the chosen courses and colleges. If a preferred choice is fully booked, candidates may be allocated to their next preferred option.
- Category Reservations: Seats are reserved for various categories (e.g., SC, ST, OBC, EWS) as per government norms. This may affect the seat allocation for candidates from different categories.
- Multiple Rounds of Counseling: The counseling process may occur in several rounds. Candidates who do not receive a seat in the initial round may have another chance in subsequent rounds based on their rank and preferences.
- Fee Payment: Once a seat is allocated, candidates must pay the required admission fee to confirm their seat. Failure to do so may result in the seat being offered to another candidate.
- Reporting to Allotted College: After payment, candidates must report to the allotted college for further admission formalities.
These steps ensure a fair and systematic allocation of seats based on merit and candidate preferences. Always check the official NCHMCT website for any updates or specific details regarding the counseling process.
Candidates should be careful and plan their day in advance, so as to maintain peace of mind while taking the exam.
