The candidates are requested to transfer the registration fee to the CENTAC account through NET BANKING or by generating NEFT / RTGS challan using the payment option available in the dashboard login credentials and proceed for payment. Read the HELP Instructions carefully before proceeding with payment.

Only those Candidates who pay the Registration fee as noted above will be considered for round 2. However, Candidates who have already been admitted through round 1 counselling can participate in round 2 without payment of the registration fee.

Forfeiture of registration fee –

1. The Registration fee will be returned to all those candidates who are not allotted any seat in round 2.

Submission of course preferences –

1. All candidates registering for round 2 should submit course preferences afresh for round 2.
