CHOICE FILLING

Candidates will have the option of choosing filling for all the seats for which they have applied.

The candidates are encouraged to analyse all the choices available and fill in their choices in order of their preference.

Candidates can edit their choices any number of times before locking, but once locked, they will not be allowed to edit. Hence, candidates are requested to check their choices and the order of preference before locking.

If the candidate does not lock his/her choices till the last date (14 February 2026, 03:00 PM), their choices will be automatically locked. All candidates should read the Prospectus thoroughly before starting choice filling. Candidates should be careful while choice filling.

VIRTUAL VACANCIES

Any Candidate who has been allotted a seat in Round 1 / Round 2 and has opted for upgradation in Mop up (Round 3), that allotted seat of Round 1 / Round 2 will be shown as virtual vacancy in Mop up (Round 3), any Candidates can choice lock for the said seat (virtual seat) during the choice filling in Mop up (Round 3). However, such a seat will be allotted in Mop-up (Round 3) only if the allotted candidate of Round 1 / Round 2 vacates that seat. Thus, that virtual vacancy becomes a real vacancy and it is open to all in the order of merit.
