It's a Question of your Career!

Hello

If you’ve accepted a seat in the first round of AIQ counseling and opted for upgradation, you may still be allowed to participate in your state’s second and third counseling rounds but this depends on your state’s specific rules, so it’s important to check carefully. If you get a better seat in the state counseling, like your desired branch in the third round, you’ll usually need to formally resign from the AIQ seat before joining the new one. This means submitting a withdrawal application to the AIQ authority and then completing admission formalities with the state college.

To avoid any confusion or losing your seat, make sure to follow the guidelines and deadlines from both AIQ and your state counseling officials.

No, this won’t create any major problem. Colleges and universities generally consider the final marksheet and the fact that you have cleared the degree, not the exact month. Minor differences like July in provisional degree and August in marksheet happen because results are declared in one month but certificates are issued in another.

If the college asks, you can explain it’s due to the university’s result declaration process. It won’t affect your admission.
