Hello,

TFWS (Tuition Fee Waiver Scheme) seats are allocated based on merit and eligibility, not solely on a first-come-first-served basis. However, there are some nuances:

1. Merit-based allocation: TFWS seats are allocated to eligible candidates based on their merit (percentage or rank) in the CAP (Centralized Admission Process) rounds.

2. Availability of seats: If TFWS seats are filled in a particular college, further eligible candidates will not be allocated TFWS seats in that college, even if they have a higher merit score.

3. Waitlist: If a candidate with a higher merit score (like the 92%ile candidate in your example) is not allocated a TFWS seat due to unavailability, they might be placed on a waitlist.

4. Vacancy-based allocation: If a TFWS seat becomes vacant due to a candidate's withdrawal or non-reporting, the waitlisted candidate with the next highest merit score might be allocated the seat.

In your scenario:

· The 91%ile candidate gets the TFWS seat initially.

· If TFWS seats are full, the 92%ile candidate will not get a TFWS seat in the same college, even if they have a higher merit score.

· However, the 92%ile candidate might be placed on a waitlist and allocated the seat if a vacancy arises later.

Hope this helps,

Thank you
