Choice Filling & Locking Guide
Fill as Many Choices as Possible-
There is no limit to the number of colleges or courses you can fill. The more choices you make, the better your chances of getting a seat.
Arrange Colleges by Preference-
Order matters. List your choices in order of preference, as the system allocates seats based on your top choices first.
Lock Choices Before the Deadline-
Make sure to lock your choices before the deadline. If you don’t, the system will auto-lock them, which may not match your preferences.
Double-Check Your Entries-
Before locking, verify your category, quota, and preferences to avoid any mistakes that could lead to a wrong allotment.
Pro Tip- Use Mock Choice Filling-
Practice filling out your choices beforehand to avoid mistakes during the real submission. This helps you get more clarity and confidence.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Missing the Registration Deadline-
Always register on time. Missing the deadline means you can't participate in the counselling. - Not Locking Choices-
If you don’t lock your choices, you risk them not being saved. Always lock your choices manually before the deadline. - Incorrect Category or Certificate Information-
Ensure your category and certificate details are accurate to avoid disqualification from reserved seats. - Filling Fewer Choices-
Filling only a few options limits your chances. Add as many choices as possible to widen your options. - Assuming Round 2 is Guaranteed-
Round 2 depends on Round 1 results, so don’t assume you’ll get another chance. Treat Round 1 as your primary opportunity.
