  • Step 3 Document Verification: Complete document verification as directed by the counselling authority. Retain the application, payment receipt and verification record issued to you.
  • Step 4 Seat Matrix and Option Entry: Check the notified college, speciality, quota and fees. Enter your eligible college and speciality preferences in order of priority within the option-entry period.
  • Step 5 Seat Allotment: Check the allotment result and complete the required acceptance or other action within the notified time.
