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. At Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences, 2 in 3 who took it kept it — of 251 allotted in 2025, 152 reported and kept it; the rest upgraded out. 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 Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences in 2025 had placed it at a median of #4 on their list, and 28% 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.

Both are required — NRI eligibility and a rank that reaches. NRI seats are a pool under MCC (not a separate counselling): you need the NRI / NRI-sponsored documents test and a rank inside the NRI close (— in 2025). Never a fallback for a general candidate.
