Fourth Round: A fourth round of seat allotment that takes into account the modified choices of eligible candidates and newly registered candidates will be done on July 25, 2012. Candidates who are allotted a seat in the fourth round should report directly to the Allotted Institutes during July 25 to July 30, 2012.

Candidates who do not report to the Allotted Institute (Admitting Institute) will forfeit their claim on the allotted seat. However, they will be permitted to participate in the Spot Round, for which they should register again during August 3 to August 6, 2012.

Internal Sliding: After four rounds of allotment, 'internal sliding' amongst candidates admitted in an institute will be conducted, on August 1, 2012. The sliding is based on the choices/preferences filled in by candidates at the time of getting admitted to the institute. After this internal sliding, vacancies will be displayed on August 2, 2012 at www.ccb.nic.in 

Spot Round: Candidates who are eligible for central counseling and have not taken admission in an institute within the 4th round are eligible for the Spot Round. Candidates who are eligible for central counseling but had not registered during June 16 to June 25 and July 17 to July 22, 2012, would also be permitted to register and fill their choices. Intending candidates should register, fill choices and lock them online from places convenient to them or from Help Centres during August 3 to August 6, 2012. Registrations, if any, done earlier will stand cancelled. The declared vacancies will include those available in NITs, IIITs and other Central/State Government Funded Institutions (GFIs) after internal sliding along with all the seats offered by Self Financed Institutions (SFIs).

After registration and choice filling candidates must visit the nearest Reporting Center to get their documents verified, pay the fee of Rs. 45,000/- (for OP, OPPH, OBC, OBCPH, OM and OMPH candidates) / Rs. 40,000/-(for SC, SCPH, ST and STPH candidates) in the form of Demand Draft only.

Candidates admitted in GFIs will report to their respective Institutes for classes, immediately after allotment. Class attendance will be counted from August, 13, 2012 onwards.
