As per the schedule, all the eligible candidates included in the Kerala State Merit list published and who have applied afresh for admission to PG Medical courses can register their options online through the official website of CEE before 13 January 2025, 3.00 PM. However, the options of the freshly registered candidates will be considered for allotment only if they become eligible on scrutiny of application and documents uploaded as proof of various reservations.

Meanwhile, in-service candidates, if any, among the freshly registered candidates, can register for In-service-quota options, only after the confirmation of their eligibility for the respective In-service quotas by the Director of Medical Education. The options of the In-service quota candidates will be considered for allotment only after getting the revised state-specific rank list from the NBEMS.

TENTATIVE SCHEDULE FOR THE 3RD PHASE ALLOTMENT

Candidates shall register options to any seats they wish to join if allotted, irrespective of the vacancy status notified as any vacancy that may arise during the counselling will also be filled based on these options. As applicable category conversions of seats will take place in the third phase allotment, while registering options for the third phase allotment, candidates are advised to take into account those probable vacancies that may arise due to the applicable category conversions. The additional seats sanctioned and the seat matrix approved by the Government in the KMCT Medical College, Kozhikkode and P K Das Medical College, Palakkad are also included for allotment in this phase.

Moreover, those candidates who have not registered in Phase I shall have to pay the option registration fee for fresh registration. The amount should be equal to the annual tuition fee if Government Medical Colleges (including the RCC) only are to be opted or an amount of Rs.1,00,000 if Self Financing Colleges are to be opted. For SC/ST/OE and other candidates who are eligible for fee concession, the registration fee for Government /Pvt. Medical college seats will be half of the above amounts respectively. The registration fee paid will be refunded to the eligible candidates after the end of counselling. The registration fee of those candidates who do not join the seat allotted will be treated as a penalty and will not be refunded. Also, those who have got allotment in phase 2 and did not take admission shall also have to pay an option registration fee for fresh registration in the third phase.

However, those who vacate the seat after 3:00 PM on 13 January 2025 will not be eligible to participate in the 3rd phase allotment and further rounds (options, if any, registered by such candidates for the third phase allotment will be cancelled). This will be the cut-off date for relinquishing admission, without incurring any penalty. Candidates who have vacated the joined seats shall have to pay the option registration fee afresh. If any candidate does not join the seat allotted in phase 3, the option registration fee will be forfeited and such candidates cannot participate in further allotments.

PENALTY CONDITIONS IN 3RD PHASE ALLOTMENT

A candidate allotted a seat in 3rd phase in State counselling shall be ineligible to participate in any further counselling. Hence, candidates are advised to exercise due diligence in exercising their options and do not file unwanted options for seats in which they do not wish to pursue studies. The list of candidates admitted as of the last date of admission in Phase 3 will be forwarded to MCC as the list of candidates ineligible to participate in any further rounds of All India or State counselling. Those candidates who vacate the allotted seat, after the cut-off date specified above, will not be considered for further rounds of counselling and a penalty will be initiated as per the Prospectus conditions. This condition is applicable to all the candidates who get admitted to a college based on an allotment in any of the phases (before or after the cut-off date) but the quitting of the seat takes place after the cut-off date.

STRAY VACANCY FILLING PHASE

After the 3rd Phase allotment, if any vacancies exist or arise, those vacancies shall be filled through Stray vacancy allotment. There will be fresh option registration forthe Stray Vacancy filling phase. If vacancies exist even after an initial stray vacancy allotment and if there is sufficient time before the cut-off date for admissions prescribed by the National Medical Commission (NMC), additional stray vacancy allotments may be conducted based on the options registered for the Stray vacancy filling round. If any candidate vacates a seat joined in Stray vacancy allotment or vacates a joined seat (joined in any of the previous phases also) after the Stray vacancy allotment process, he/she will be liable to pay liquidated damages.
