Choice 1

Candidates selecting Choice 1 accept the allotted seat and intend to join the college. They must pay the prescribed fee and complete the reporting process within the specified deadline.

Choice 2

Choice 2 is applicable to candidates who accept the allotted seat but wish to participate in subsequent counselling rounds, subject to the applicable KEA rules and eligibility conditions.

Choice 3

Candidates selecting Choice 3 indicate their decision to participate in further rounds while following the conditions specified by KEA for retaining or proceeding with their current allotment.

Choice 4
