If accepted, they must pay the required admission fee or confirm the seat within a specified timeframe. In some cases, there may be opportunities for upgradation or further rounds of counselling. Candidates should stay informed about these options and participate if desired. Once a seat is confirmed, candidates should report to the allotted college, complete admission formalities, pay fees, and attend orientation and academic sessions as per the college's schedule. Staying organized, adhering to deadlines, and closely following official communications are essential throughout the admission process to ensure a successful transition into their chosen academic programme.

Each participating college or university may have its own specific criteria for determining cutoffs. Changes in the admission policies or criteria of specific institutions can impact the cutoffs for their courses.
