Hello Pranav,

First, the student is given chance to submit their preference list in which you may prefer any college first that you like. Then, if that college is fit for you according to your rank and availabilty of seats, you will get seat in that college. It does not matter if you choose (say) nlu bhopal at first and nalsar as the last preference. You will get nlu bhopal if you have rank accordingly.

Hope this would help you.
