- There is no provision for fresh option registration in the next phase unless new colleges are added, so candidates are advised to register all options they wish to consider in this phase itself.
- Allotment will be lost for candidates who do not take admission within the stipulated time, and they will not be considered for further centralised allotment.
- Candidates whose rank has been withheld can still register options, but these will not be considered for allotment unless they clear the defects and get their rank released before 3:00 PM on 19.08.2026.
