 Maximizing the Extended Choice Filling Window (Till Nov 4, 10 AM)
This one-day extension is a game-changer for candidates vying for the limited seats in the third round of PG Ayush counselling. Strategic planning during this crucial phase can significantly influence the final seat allotment.
- Review and Re-Order Preferences:
- Thoroughly re-evaluate the current list of filled choices against the recently released vacant seat matrix for Round 3.
 - Prioritize colleges and specializations not just by rank, but also by genuine interest and future career goals.
 - Use the "Move Up/Move Down" feature to adjust the order, ensuring the most desired options are placed at the very top.
 
 - Identify Newly Available Seats: 
- Acknowledge that seat availability might fluctuate due to cancellations from previous rounds. Candidates should check for any newly added seats or courses in institutions they previously overlooked.
 - Consult the official DME Gujarat portal regularly for the most updated seat availability data before the final lock.
 
 - Final Lock and Print Confirmation:
- The most critical step is to click the "Lock Choices" button before the November 4, 10:00 AM deadline. Unlocked choices will not be considered for allotment.
 - Candidates must ensure they print a copy of their final, locked choices for their personal record and for future reference during the reporting process. This serves as critical documentary proof.

- Crucial Revised Deadline:

 Strategic Advice for a Successful Round 3 Participation
The third round of counselling is often the final opportunity to gain admission before mop-up rounds, making this extension particularly valuable. Aspiring doctors must approach this stage with heightened focus.
- Counseling Rules & Eligibility:
- Reconfirm personal eligibility for this specific round, especially regarding any up-gradation or free-exit rules from previous rounds.
 - Candidates who have not participated so far but are eligible must ensure their registration and document verification are complete as per the original or any preceding extension schedule.
 
 - Focus on Government vs. SFI: 
- Choices should clearly reflect the preference between Government Quota (GQ) seats, which typically have lower fees, and Management Quota (MQ) seats in Self-Financed Institutions (SFI).
 - List all preferred Government colleges/branches first, followed by SFI options, to optimize the allotment process based on merit and fee structure preference.
 
 - Avoiding Forfeiture of Seat: 
- Once a seat is allotted in Round 3, failing to report to the allotted college for document verification and admission confirmation by the stipulated date can lead to forfeiture of the seat and potentially the security deposit. Aspirants must be prepared to complete the admission formalities immediately after the result declaration.
