Factor Upgradation Seats (Virtual Vacancies): If you are aiming for an upgrade from a Round 2 joined seat, remember that seats vacated by higher-ranked upgradation candidates will be dynamically allotted.
Lock Well Before 6:00 PM Tomorrow: Server loads often surge in the final 2 hours of choice locking. Finalize your choices well ahead of the 6:00 PM cutoff on 07 October.
Download Printout of Locked Choices: Always download and preserve the PDF printout of your locked choices with timestamp for physical reporting verification.
