The Phase 2 web-options facility is available to eligible candidates whose names appear in the final merit list dated August 29, 2026, along with candidates included through subsequent addenda mentioned by the University.

The following candidates can participate:

• Candidates who did not exercise web options in Phase 1.

Candidates who availed the Free Exit facility after Phase 1 are not eligible to exercise web options in Phase 2 or subsequent counselling phases.

Fresh Web Options Required for Upgradation

Candidates who joined their Phase 1 allotted college and want to upgrade must exercise fresh web options during the Phase 2 window.

Such candidates should select only those colleges they genuinely prefer over their currently admitted college.

The currently reported college will remain as the last option by default, as specified in the notification.

Candidates who joined in Phase 1 but do not exercise fresh web options will not be considered for further sliding/upgradation in Phase 2. However, default sliding may apply in certain circumstances involving a change in seat category within the same college.

No Limit on Number of Web Options

Candidates who are eligible to participate in Phase 2 can exercise any number of web options.

The University has advised candidates to enter colleges in the order of their actual preference and eligibility, irrespective of the vacancies displayed on the website.

This allows candidates to be considered according to merit and their preferred order when seats become available during the allotment process.

Important Rule for Candidates Upgraded in Phase 2

Candidates who receive an upgraded seat in Phase 2 will not have any claim over their Phase 1 joined seat.

The Phase 1 seat will be automatically cancelled after upgradation, and the seat will be added to the available seat matrix as a virtual vacancy for further allocation.
