How Is Round 2 Different From Round 1?
Round 2 gives a fresh chance to candidates who did not register in Round 1. It also allows new choices for aspirants who skipped or missed the earlier deadline.
Existing Round 1 allottees can also try for a better college in Round 2. They must accept the risk that their Round 1 seat may be released after the upgrade.
Round 2 is the last window for many candidates to enter a state medical college through open counselling. Round 3 and the Stray Vacancy Round usually offer fewer seats and limited course choices.
