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 Dumka Medical College in 2025 had placed it at a median of #74 on their list. 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.
