  • Stray Vacancy Round: Remaining vacancies after this phase will be filled through the Stray Vacancy Round, for which previously registered options will be considered.
  • Current Admission Cancellation: Candidates with existing admissions who receive seats through vacant seat allotment will have their prior admission automatically cancelled. Candidates should only register for colleges they wish to attend.
  • College-Level Vacancy Filling: After this allotment, stray vacancy filling will take place based on registered options, though already admitted candidates’ options will not carry over for stray rounds.
