If you don’t confirm your admission after securing a position in any merit list, your allocated seat will be canceled.
Your merit score will be calculated from a total of 200 marks. Of these, 100 marks will come from your MCQ admission test, and the remaining 100 marks from your previous academic records at SSC/equivalent and HSC/equivalent levels. For academic records, 40% will be taken from your SSC/equivalent results and 60% from your HSC/equivalent results.

During confirmation, you can indicate if you want to participate in the migration process.
The migration process will follow the choice preference order you provided during your application. Migration is only possible upward from your current placement. For example, if you are allocated to your third choice, you can only migrate to your first or second choice, not to choices ranked lower.
If you don’t confirm your admission after securing a position in any merit list, you’ll lose the seat allocated to you. After completing the first merit list admission process, the authority will release the second merit list, quota merit list, and migration list.
Honours Admission Release Slip
If you passed the admission test but didn’t secure a position in any merit list, you still have an opportunity to apply for admission through the Release Slip process.

You can apply for a Release Slip if there are vacant seats in specific subjects across affiliated colleges. During the Release Slip application process, you can select up to five colleges and specify your subject preferences for each institution.
The Release Slip opportunity is available for applicants who:
- Passed the admission test but didn’t get a place in the 1st and 2nd merit lists, or
