Step 2: Round 1 Seat Allotment & Reporting – Result published on the portal based on merit, reservation policy, seat availability and preferences; choose Floating (next round eligibility) or Freezing (accept and pay Security Deposit); medical-course allottees report to the Directorate of Medical Education, Naharlagun; non-medical-course allottees report to the Directorate of Higher & Technical Education, Itanagar; failure to freeze/pay/report cancels the allotment; only Floating candidates proceed to Round 2; no-response candidates skip Round 2 but may join the Spot Round.
Step 3: Surrender/Withdrawal of Seat – Online withdrawal available for provisional allottees who haven’t joined; timely withdrawal allows Spot Round participation; admitted candidates cannot withdraw.
Step 4: Spot Round Counselling – Open to Round 2 Floating candidates, timely withdrawn-seat candidates, not-allotted candidates, and fresh applicants (after fee payment); already-admitted candidates are ineligible.
Step 5: Reporting to the Allotted Institute – Freezing candidates collect the Provisional Admission/Nomination Letter and report within the schedule; admission is confirmed only after document verification; failure to report forfeits the seat.
Arunachal Pradesh Payment of Security Deposit
