What is Multiple Counselling Rounds?
There are a number of reasons why seats can go unfilled, such as the students:
- Decide against attending the college they chose to attend based on poor grades or financial difficulties
- Does not have enough funds to pay the necessary amount

Fees and documents are due by the answer deadline and are not refundable; they become available in the next round.
