PUBDET 2025 Counselling - The exam body will carry out the PUBDET 2025 counselling process once the PUBDET results are declared. It is likely that PUBDET Counselling 2025 will be held in August 2025. Only those candidates who score the cutoff marks will be called PUBDET 2025 counselling. The counselling will take place in several rounds. It is advised that the candidates keep an eye on the exam's website for the counselling schedules and the seat allotment lists published as a result of the PUBDET counselling process. The counselling and admission process is conducted on the basis of GMR (General Merit Rank)/ rank cards and scores. The verification of the rank list, and documents will be done during the time of counselling. If an applicant is found ineligible, the candidature will be cancelled despite holding a rank card.
