Important Guidelines and Mistakes to Avoid
- Ensure accuracy in choice filling: Double-check institute and branch codes before locking your preferences.

- Document readiness: Keep scanned copies of required documents like JEE scorecards, class 12 certificates, category certificates, and ID proofs.
- Avoid last-minute rush: Don’t wait until the final day to register or lock choices, as server issues may occur during peak hours.
- Seat acceptance fees: Once a seat is allotted, candidates must pay the seat acceptance fee online to confirm provisional admission.
