Not stated for the stray vacancy round
Use the date and time for the exact action, not only the overall round window. Registration, payment, choice filling and choice locking close at different times.
MCC workflow
From registration to reporting
Keep each step linked to the correct round. A missed payment, unlocked choice list or delayed reporting can change the entire outcome.
Registration and eligibility
Create the correct counselling account, complete the candidate profile and verify domicile, category, minority or other applicable eligibility under the current notice.
Fee and security payment
Check the authority's registration fee, refundable security amount, payment deadline and transaction status before choice filling.
Choice filling and locking
Build a college order using rank, category, quota, fees and service-bond conditions. Lock or submit choices exactly as the current portal notice requires.
Allotment and reporting
Download the allotment result, follow the prescribed acceptance option and report with originals before the round's last joining date.
Upgrade or exit decision
Understand free exit, willingness, upgrade, resignation and forfeiture rules before moving to the next round; they can differ by authority and round.
Deemed-university risk control
Check the full payable exposure before locking
A tuition figure alone is not enough. Families should compare the official invoice and refund terms before placing any deemed-university choice above a lower-cost alternative.
Annual tuition and permitted escalation
Hostel, mess and compulsory institutional charges
MCC security deposit and university payments
Refund deadline, forfeiture, bond and resignation consequences
