The SOP provides for four rounds of counselling, including the Stray Vacancy Round, in accordance with applicable national counselling guidelines. Candidates allotted seats will be required to report and complete the prescribed admission formalities. The SOP also provides for procedures relating to seat surrender, vacant seats, PwBD assessment and tie-breaking criteria.
Candidates admitted under State Government-sponsored MBBS seats will be required to execute a bond with the Health and Family Welfare Department.
