If you're allotted this seat and a better one might open the next round — do you hold it and stay in for the upgrade, or let it go?

Round 1 is a free exit — not joining costs nothing. From Round 2, not reporting to an allotted seat forfeits your ₹2 lakh security deposit. Across counselling last year, 6,686 students let a Round-1 seat go chasing better — and 6 in 10 of them ended the year with nothing. So name it now, in the calm: a seat you'd hold, or one you'd release. The safe way to reach higher is to report and stay in for the upgrade — you keep this while you try to move up. On result day you get hours, not days.

Where does this college go on your list — a reach you'd take, or an anchor you're glad to hold?

MCC walks your list top-down and gives you the highest seat your rank reaches — nothing below it is ever looked at. The order is the seat, not the rank. Students who took Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences in 2025 had placed it at a median of #21 on their list, and 3% put it at #1. Put a seat you'd settle for above one you'd choose, and it's the one you get. Name where this goes — above the seats you'd rather have, or below them as the anchor you're sure to hold.
