Hy,

Yes, it is generally possible to cancel an allotted seat after submitting the joining report and still participate in the second extended round of counseling in certain cases. However, this largely depends on the specific rules of the counseling authority and the institution conducting the admissions process. Let me outline some general possibilities:

1. Resignation or Seat Withdrawal :

• In most cases , if you have already joined a seat by submitting your joining report, you may still have the option to resign or withdraw from that seat. However, this must be done within the stipulated time frame set by the counseling authority.
• Some counseling processes allow candidates to resign without penalties if they want to participate in further rounds (like the second or extended rounds). However, there may be certain conditions attached, like:
  • A cut-off date for resignation.
  • Some amount of the fee may be non-refundable .
  • You may have to provide an official resignation letter or complete certain formalities at the institution where you have joined.

2. Eligibility for Participation in the 2nd Extended Round :

• If you resign from the allotted seat properly within the required time frame, you may be allowed to participate in the 2nd extended round of counseling.
• In some cases, certain states or institutions allow candidates who have already joined a seat to still participate in further rounds (including the 2nd extended round) without resigning , but they need to be careful because:
  • They might forfeit the current seat if they are allotted another seat in the second round.
  • The decision to participate in the next round must be clear in the counseling portal (for instance, you may need to give your consent).

3. Seat Forfeiture Penalty :

• In some instances, if you cancel your seat after the deadline , or if you do not follow the proper resignation process, there could be a penalty, such as:
  • Losing the seat permanently.
  • Ineligibility to participate in further rounds of counseling.
  • Forfeiting part of the tuition fees or deposit.

4. Institution-Specific or Exam-Specific Rules :

• Every state or entrance exam authority (such as NEET , AIIMS , State CETs , etc.) has its own set of rules. It's essential to carefully read the information bulletin or guidelines provided by the counseling body.

Recommendations:

• Consult the Counseling Guidelines : Always check the specific rules mentioned in the admission guidelines or counseling brochure. Look for sections related to "seat resignation" or "counseling rounds."
• Contact the Counseling Body : If the rules are unclear, contacting the admission authorities or the counseling board can help you understand the correct process.
• Be Aware of Deadlines : Ensure you know the resignation deadlines and penalties associated with canceling a seat after joining.

Hello Usha,

Yes, you can cancel the allotted seat and still participate in the 2nd extended round of counseling, but there are a few things to consider:

1. Seat Surrender Process : You must officially surrender the seat by following the procedures set by the counseling authority. This process usually involves submitting a formal request to the institute and counseling board.
   
   

2. Refund Policy : Check the refund policy of the institute where you’ve submitted the joining report. Some institutes deduct a fee for seat cancellation, while others may not offer any refund after a certain date.
   
   

3. Eligibility for 2nd Extended Round : Once you cancel your seat, you can participate in the next round of counseling, but ensure that the rules of the specific counseling authority allow candidates who have previously joined a seat to re-enter subsequent rounds.
   
   

4. Risk Factor : Be aware that canceling your current seat does not guarantee a better seat in the extended round. If you don’t get a better seat, you could lose your previously allotted seat as well.

Always verify the specific rules and guidelines of the counseling authority for your course and region, as policies may vary.

Hello aspirant,

The ability to cancel an allotted seat and participate in the 2nd extended round after admission and submitting a joining report depends on the specific rules and regulations of the admission process you are involved in.

Generally, there are two possibilities:

1. Cancellation is allowed: Some admission processes allow candidates to cancel their allotted seats and participate in subsequent rounds. However, there might be penalties or conditions attached to this, such as forfeiture of a security deposit or losing priority in future rounds.
2. Cancellation is not allowed: In other cases, once a candidate has accepted an allotted seat and submitted a joining report, they may not be able to cancel the seat and participate in later rounds.

To determine the specific rules for your situation, you should:

• Check the official admission guidelines: The guidelines should clearly outline the cancellation policy and any associated consequences.
• Contact the admissions office: If you have any doubts, it's best to reach out to the admissions office directly for clarification.

Additional considerations:

• Timelines: There might be specific deadlines for canceling a seat and participating in the 2nd extended round. Be sure to adhere to these deadlines.
• Consequences: Consider the potential consequences of canceling your allotted seat, such as losing priority in future rounds or forfeiting a security deposit.
• Alternative options: If you're not satisfied with your allotted seat, explore other options such as waiting for the next round or considering other institutions.
  
  I hope you got this.
