| Counselling |
C-DAC’s PG Diploma admission process has two counselling
sessions and three rounds of seat allocations. Counselling means online
filling of preferences of courses and training centers by the
candidates.
· There are two rounds of
seat allocations based on the first counselling. This means that using the
course-center preferences given by the candidates during the first choice
filling, two rounds of seat allocations (Round 1 and Round 2) will be
done.
Depending on their C-CAT ranks, candidates will be allocated seats strictly
based on the order of preferences of courses and centers given by them during
the counselling. If some candidates' ranks are not good enough to get them
their top preferences in the first round of seat allocations, they may be
offered their lower preferred courses/centers depending on their ranks. Such
candidates may be allocated their higher-preferred course/center in the
second round of seat allocation, depending on their ranks. However, if
candidates get their first preference in the first round of seat allocation
itself, then that will be their final allocated seat and there will be no
change for them in the second round of seat allocations. The seats allocated
in the second round are final and there will be no further change in
them.
· Through the second
counseling, candidates who have not got/confirmed admission are given one
last chance to online fill their preferences of courses and training centres
for the vacant seats that arise after the second round of admissions. The
second counselling is scheduled after the payment of the first installment
fee of the second round of seat allocation. The third round of seat
allocation is based on the second counseling.
· During both the counselling
sessions, candidates will be permitted to give preferences for only those
courses belonging to the category they had selected in the C-CAT application
form. However, a candidate can give as many preferences of training centers
and courses belonging to the applied C-CAT category.
Based on the C-CAT ranks, admissions to various courses at different
training centres are offered in the order of preferences of courses and
centres given by the candidate and the number of seats available for the
courses at the particular centres. Therefore candidates must take utmost care
while filling the order of preference of the courses and centres. Under any
circumstance, a candidate will not be allocated another course/centre which
was not given as a preference during the counselling stage. |
