Who can participate in Final Phase Counselling?
The final phase is open to eligible candidates falling under the categories specified by TGCHE.
Candidates who can participate include:
Those who secured a seat in the first or second phase, reported to the allotted college and now wish to move to another college.
Candidates who participated in the first or second phase but did not secure a seat.
Eligible candidates who did not participate in the first or second phase despite being called for counselling.
Candidates who have not registered in the first or second phase can register during the final phase.
However, candidates who were allotted a seat in the second phase but did not report to the allotted college are not eligible to exercise options in the final phase.
Similarly, candidates who cancelled their seats in the first or second phase cannot participate in final-phase web options.
Fresh Web options required for Final phase
Candidates must exercise their web options afresh for the final phase. Options submitted during the first and second phases will not be considered.
Candidates who are satisfied with their previous allotment do not need to exercise options again. However, those seeking a change must submit a fresh priority list.
TGCHE has advised candidates to select as many options as possible to improve their chances of securing a seat. Candidates may also exercise options for colleges where vacancies are not currently shown, as vacancies may arise due to sliding, cancellation and conversions.
If a candidate receives a seat in the final phase, the previous allotment will no longer remain valid. The candidate will have to report to the newly allotted college within the date mentioned in the allotment letter.
