4. Round 2 Seat Allotment
5. Round 3 Seat Allotment
6. Special Round 1
7. Special Round 2

After Round 1

After the first round of seat allotment, candidates have three options:

• Option I: Be considered for all higher choices (across the institutes) during subsequent rounds
• Option II: Remain within the institute allotted; and be considered only for higher choices within the institute during subsequent rounds
• Option III: Accept the institute and programme allotted

Rounds 2 & 3

Option I and Option II candidates, if allotted a higher preference during Rounds 2 & 3, will definitely have to accept it. After the Round 3, all vacant seats would be declared.

Special Rounds

Two Special Rounds (SR) will be conducted for filling the seats remained vacant after physical reporting of regular rounds. There are four types of candidates who can participate in these rounds:

• Type-1: Candidates who did not register for CCMT Regular Rounds but are eligible as per the rules mentioned in Eligibility Criteria.
• Type-2: Candidates who have participated in CCMT Regular Rounds and got admitted on a seat (even if they have withdrawn later).
• Type-3: Candidates who have participated in CCMT Regular Rounds but did not get any seat.
• Type-4: Candidates who have participated in CCMT Regular Rounds, got a seat allotted. However, the seat got cancelled during document verification, but still satisfies eligibility criteria.

Please note that the candidates admitted in the Finally Allotted Institute (and not withdrawn) will retain their seat if a new seat is not allotted in the Special Rounds. However, if a new seat is allotted in Special Rounds, the earlier allotted seat will be cancelled.
