This process is merit-based and transparent, with seats allocated according to your rank, category, and choice of speciality and college. The allotment will include seats under the General quota, Service Quota, and other reserved categories.
Candidates will be notified of their allotment status through the official portal. It is essential to check your allotment result on the scheduled date and complete the admission formalities (fee payment, document verification, and reporting) within the stipulated time to secure your seat.
