The DASA UG counselling mock seat allotment helps candidates understand what seat they might be allotted based on their rank and preferences before the official rounds begin. This will help candidates rearrange/edit/delete/add choices to their DASA choice list, if necessary. It is a trial allotment for the candidates.
However, the seat allotment done in each round of the DASA UG counselling is not a trial allotment but a final allotment. The seat allotted here cannot be changed. However, candidates can opt for float/slide willingness option after the final allotment.
Once the choice filling deadline is over and candidates have locked their choices, they cannot make changes in their choice list. Candidates must note that they will NOT be allowed to edit their choice-list after the deadline for choice filling, i.e., candidates CANNOT change the order of their choices or add any more choices or delete any choices from their choice-list after the deadline for choice filling.
If the candidates do NOT lock their choices in DASA UG counselling, their last saved choices will be locked automatically upon reaching the deadline for choice filling. If no choices are saved, the candidate will not be considered for allotment of any seat.
Candidates can start with the DASA UG choice filling process, after successful fee payment and document verification. Candidates are required to fill in their choices of academic programs. Note that, candidates MUST “lock” their choices on or before the last day of choice filling. If the candidates do NOT lock their choices, their last saved choices will be locked automatically upon reaching the deadline for choice filling.
DASA allows foreign nationals and NRI's to take admission in top institutions in India excluding IIT's. With a rank of around 174000 you are likely to get a good NIT and also a good branch.
