The Supreme Court case (hearing details here) could still impact future rounds. Stay updated!

The Final Countdown: What Happens If You Miss November 5?
Your medical career literally hangs in the balance this week. Students who miss Round 1 registration face:
- Limited seat options: Top colleges fill 80% seats in Round 1
- Higher cutoffs: Round 2 ranks jump 10-15% historically
- Financial loss: Late rounds have stricter refund policies
Dr. Priya Menon, who secured AIIMS Delhi in 2024, shares: “I nearly missed Round 1 due to document issues. Thankfully I rushed – my rank wouldn’t have gotten surgery seats later.”
Reporting Day Disaster Plan: Avoid These 3 Mistakes
November 9-14 will be chaotic. Survive with these tips:
| Mistake | Smart Solution |
|---|---|
| Arriving empty-handed | Carry 3 sets of document photocopies (notarized) |
| Ignoring college timings | Report before 10 AM – queues get crazy by noon |
| Forgetting fee payment | Bring 2 payment modes: Demand Draft + Online banking access |
Your Money Matters: Fee Structure & Refund Rules
Shockingly, 23% students forget fee details during reporting. Don’t be one!
- Government colleges: ₹10,000 – ₹25,000 annual tuition
- Private colleges: ₹5 lakh – ₹27 lakh annually
- NRI quotas: $40,000 – $1,60,000 per year
Refund rules are strict:
- 100% refund if exit before Round 2
- 50% refund if exit during Round 2
- Zero refund after Mop-Up round begins
The Upgrade Game: Playing Your Cards Right
Got a seat but want better? Upgrade strategy is crucial:
- Freeze: Keep current seat (safe choice)
- Float: Try for better college (risk + reward)
- Exit: Quit counselling (final decision)
Remember: Once you choose “Freeze”, you can’t change later!
From Panic to Plan: Real Student Stories
Last year’s battle stories reveal crucial lessons:
“I didn’t verify my internship completion date – got rejected at reporting! Spent 6 months fixing it.”
– Rohan K., now pursuing MD Pediatrics
“Printed my allotment letter but forgot the payment receipt. Guard stopped me at college gate!”
– Anjali T., MS Obstetrics student
Supreme Court Wildcard: How It Affects YOU
The ongoing case (Writ Petition No. 543/2025) could bring last-minute changes:
