Hello Aspirant,

Yes you can directly participate in the second round even without participating in the first round counseling if you fulfill the eligibility criteria and score the minimum qualifying marks in the exam.If you fulfill the earlier mentioned criteria you can easily participate in the counseling from the second round round directly.So you don't have to worry about that.Others who can participate in the counseling directly are students who appeared the supplementary exams or even students who did not obtain their rank.
