Choice Filling and Locking: Key Dates
Once registered for Round 2, candidates must complete their choice filling between 14-09-2024 and 16-09-2024. Here’s how the process works:
- Carefully fill in your choices, especially if you are aiming to upgrade, or if you were unallotted in Round 1.
- Be aware that once your choices are locked, no changes can be made. Therefore, ensure that your preferred colleges and courses are selected wisely.
Choosing your preferred colleges is one of the most critical steps in NEET counselling, and tools like ZyNerd can help guide your decision based on college rankings and seat availability.
Provisional and Final Allotment:
The provisional results of Tamil Nadu NEET Counselling 2024 Round 2 will be announced on 18-09-2024, with the final results published the next day on 19-09-2024.
Candidates must download their provisional allotment order between 19-09-2024 and 26-09-2024. Failure to do so could result in missing out on the opportunity to join your allotted college.
Reporting to the College: Key Deadline
After receiving your allotment order, you are required to report to the college by 26-09-2024. At the time of reporting, you must bring your original certificates for verification. Make sure you are prepared with all the necessary documents to avoid any issues during this final step of the NEET counselling process.
If you do not report to the college by the specified deadline, your admission will be canceled without further notice. Timely action is crucial to securing your spot.
Tuition Fee Payment:
Candidates who are allotted seats in government medical colleges under the government quota do not need to pay a tuition fee if their annual family income is below 2.5 Lakhs. For those securing BDS seats in self-financing colleges, the tuition fee must be paid directly to the college at the time of admission.
Candidates using ZyNerd for financial planning should ensure they have sufficient funds in their bank accounts to make fee payments via debit/credit card, net banking, or RTGS. Remember, failing to pay the fee will result in the cancellation of your seat.
Additional Guidelines for Tamil Nadu NEET Counselling 2024:
1. Upgradation Process
If you choose to upgrade in Round 2, you will forfeit your previously allotted seat from Round 1 once the upgrade is confirmed. You will no longer have any claim over the earlier allotment.
2. Editing of Choices
You can edit your choices before locking them. However, once they are locked, no changes will be allowed. Therefore, double-check your choices to avoid mistakes.
3. Virtual Vacancies
Seats from Round 1 that are up for upgrade in Round 2 will be shown as virtual vacancies. These seats will only become actual vacancies if the Round 1 candidate relinquishes their seat after being upgraded.
