You will be allotted a seat at the highest-ranked college on your list where a vacancy exists for your rank and category.
The provisional seat allotment result will be announced on the official portal. You must then report to your allotted college for document verification and admission confirmation within the specified dates. Missing the reporting deadline may result in forfeiture of your seat.
