Register separately when required
An exam application does not always register you for counselling. Identify the correct national, state or institutional process and check eligibility, documents, fees and deadlines.
Build an honest preference order
Research each course and institution before filling choices. Order choices by genuine preference within the applicable rules, rather than trying to guess allocation outcomes. Check branch, campus, fees and location.
Understand each seat decision
Read the current definitions of accept, freeze, float, slide, upgrade and withdrawal in your counselling process. These terms and their consequences differ between authorities. Set reminders for payment and reporting deadlines.
Complete verification and reporting
Keep original documents ready, follow the reporting instructions and retain confirmation of every completed stage. Resolve discrepancies with the official helpdesk before the deadline.
