The usual sequence is: online registration, document verification, provisional and final merit lists, option form, seat allotment, seat acceptance and reporting. Institute-level and ACAP-SPOT rounds fill the seats that remain vacant, subject to eligibility and the fee structure for that route.
For each round, check the official notice for:
- The admission category and the entrance score required.
- Registration and application deadlines.
- Provisional and final merit lists.
- Vacant seats and the schedule.
