Following the completion of the choice submission phase, the authority will declare the Round 2 seat allotment results on August 28, 2026, by 5:00 PM.
Who is Eligible to Fill Choices for Round 2?
The second round of counseling is crucial for law aspirants aiming to secure a seat or upgrade their existing allotment. The following groups of applicants are eligible to participate in the Round 2 option form filling process:
-
Betterment Seekers: Candidates who were allotted a seat in CAP Round 1 and opted for “Betterment” to secure a higher-preference college.
-
Unallotted Candidates: Applicants who registered for the counseling process but did not receive any seat allocation in Round 1.
