In Phase II of the allotment process, a total of 49,267 candidates were allotted seats. Out of these, 35,195 candidates secured seats based on their first-priority choices, while others received seat allotments based on their second and subsequent priorities.

To facilitate students in joining undergraduate courses, Phase-III registrations and web-options will be extended. Phase III allotment is scheduled to commence on July 20, and colleges will begin classes on July 24.
