In JOSAA councelling,Can we get a better seat in Special rounds than Normal Counseling (Round 5)?? So by clarifying this doubt I can get an idea to withdraw or not....
Greetings,
Special Round counselling is held only after all the official rounds are over. This special round is meant for filling of vacant seats that have not been occupied even after all the rounds are done. This happens usually when:
- The last round candidates choose to not freeze a seat
- They withdraw
- Extra seats are added (rarely)
The point is that special round counselling is sort of a game of chance - you cannot depend on getting a better seat after withdrawing from your own. If you are lucky enough then maybe you can get a seat of your choice in your choice of branch but it is a huge gamble.
I'd personally suggest only go for it if you are prepared to take any seat that would be offered in the special round or you are already planning to reappear for your exam next year anyways. Otherwise, to be on the safe side, freezing your seat in the last round could be a better choice.
Decide prudently, do not rush it.
Great day and best of luck!
