What Changes Can Candidates Make During Choice Editing?

During this window, eligible candidates can make the following modifications:

• Delete Unwanted Choices: Remove institutions or specializations that you do not wish to join.

• Reorder Preferences: Shift high-priority colleges to the top of your list and lower-priority options down.

1. Accept and Freeze: Confirm the allotted seat, pay the tuition fee online, and exit further counselling rounds.

2. Accept and Upgrade: Accept the current seat, pay the required fee, and hold the seat while opting to move to Round 2 for a higher preference.
