Counselling Stages
Seat Matrix: Revised & Final Vacancies (Nov 26 - 27)
This initial phase is about ensuring the playing field is level before the game begins.
- What it is: The authorities first publish a revised list of vacant seats for private medical colleges. They then invite objections from stakeholders and finally release a final, undisputed version.
- Strategic Importance: This is your first look at the actual seats you will be competing for. Use the "Final Vacancies" list released on November 27 as the single source of truth for your choice filling research.
- Action Plan: As soon as the final vacancies are published, begin your research on the colleges and specialties listed. Do not wait for the choice filling window to open.
Choice Filling and Locking (Nov 29 - Dec 1)
This is the heart of the counselling process, where your strategy is implemented.
- What it is: The 3-day window to select and prioritize your preferred colleges and courses.
- Strategic Importance: The authorities have issued a critical note: "Candidates who are editing their choice filling... must ensure that they lock their edited choices using the OTP, otherwise, the previously locked choices will be considered." This means you can edit your choices multiple times, but only your final, actively locked list will be used for allotment.
- Action Plan:
- Use the days before November 29 to prepare a preliminary list.
- During the window, refine your list. Once satisfied, manually lock it and download the confirmation slip. Do not assume it auto-locks.
Reporting & Upgradation
The period from December 5 to December 10 is incredibly action-packed, with three simultaneous phases. Your decisions here are crucial.
| Activity | What It Means | Strategic Choice |
|---|---|---|
| Reporting & Admission | You physically report to the allotted college, get documents verified, and pay fees to secure the seat. | Mandatory to confirm your admission. |
| Option for Upgradation | You choose YES/NO to indicate if you want to be considered for a better seat in Round 2. | YES (Float): You want a better seat but will keep this one as a backup. NO (Freeze): You are happy and want to end your counselling journey. |
| Online Resignation | You formally give up your allotted seat. | Leads to seat cancellation but allows you to participate in Round 2. Your security fee may be forfeited. |
Crucial Note: The option for upgradation (YES/NO) must be exercised at the time of admission at the college level. However, you have the flexibility to edit this choice online via your candidate login until December 10, 2025, at 11:59 PM.
Effects & Action Plan
The condensed timeline demands efficiency. The table below helps you navigate potential mistakes.
| Potential Pitfall | Reason | Preemptive Action Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Missing the Upgradation Choice | Not deciding YES/NO during physical reporting. | Decide your Freeze/Float strategy before you go to report at the college. |
| Relying on Auto-Lock | Assuming the system will lock choices automatically. | Manually lock your choices and save the confirmation slip as proof. |
| Last-Minute Rush | Waiting until the final hours for choice filling or payment. | Treat December 9 as the last day for reporting to avoid last-day glitches or crowds. |

FAQs
What is the significance of the "Invitation of Objections" period?
This window allows candidates and colleges to point out any errors in the initially published seat matrix for private colleges, ensuring the final list used for allotment is accurate and fair for everyone.
If I choose "YES" for upgradation, do I lose my Round 1 seat?
No. Choosing "YES" (Float) means you will be considered for a better seat in Round 2, but you will only lose your Round 1 seat if you are allotted a preferred seat in Round 2. Your Round 1 seat is held as a backup until then.
Is a seat-leaving bond required if I resign during this round?
No. According to the official schedule, a "seat leaving bond on resignation" is explicitly stated as NOT APPLICABLE for resignations made between December 5 and December 10, 2025.
Can I change my upgradation choice after I have left the college?
Yes. While you must provide an initial answer at the college, you can edit your upgradation option (YES/NO) online through your candidate login portal until 11:59 PM on December 10, 2025.
What happens if I do not report to the allotted college by December 10th?
Failure to report by the deadline (6:00 PM, December 10, 2025) will lead to the automatic cancellation of your allotted seat. You will then become ineligible for Round 1 and may forfeit your security fee.
