Can I Hold the Allotted Seat in AIQ Round 1 and Participate in State Counselling Round 2 Without Losing Security Deposit?

First of all, thanks for the question. You can indeed participate in all India quota (AIQ) counseling round 2. Here are some important points and scenarios to consider:

Accepted Situations

If you have been allotted a college through state counseling and later get admitted to a better college through AIQ round 2, you have the option to participate in the state counseling round 2 without losing your security deposit. The refundable fee from the state college will be credited to your bank account upon leaving the state college.

Cancellation and Bond Payment

However, if you wish to take admission in an all India college, you must cancel your admission in the state college. Additionally, if a bond payment is applicable, you will need to make this payment as well. This step is crucial to ensure that you are not penalized for switching college options.

Retention Form Condition

Another condition to consider is whether you have filled the retention form in your state allotted college in the first round. If you have not filled the retention form, you can participate in the fresh registration in AIQ round 2 and accept an allotted college from that round.

Choosing Your Next Steps

When you participate in round 1 of MCC (Medical College Counseling) and are allotted a college, you have various options:

To Accept the Seat: If you accept the seat and get admitted, then you have finalized your option. Save the Seat for Round 2: You can save the seat and participate in round 2 for a better college. This requires receiving an upgradation letter during document verification and submitting a new preference list in round 2. Give Up the Seat: You can also give up the seat and participate in the next round. This option means you do not have to appear in round 1 document verification but does not reserve your seat for round 2. Not Compete Again: Some students choose to give up on the allotted seat and not compete for the next round if their preferences have shifted to state counseling.

Conclusion

Understanding these options and conditions will help you make an informed decision for your next steps in the counseling process. Always ensure that you follow the prescribed procedures to avoid any penalties or inconveniences.

Good luck! We hope this information is helpful for you.
