Hello,

PGCET rank is valid only for the same year in which you write the exam.
You cannot use this year’s rank for next year’s admission .
If you skip admission this year, you will have to write PGCET again next year .

Your 2 backlogs do not allow you to “save” the rank. You must clear the backlogs before the admission process, because colleges check your documents during counselling.

After the PGCET exam , the counselling and admission process usually takes a few months.
You get time for document verification, option entry, seat allotment, and then reporting to the college.
Normally, admissions are completed a few months after the exam, depending on the official schedule.

So, if you want to join next year, be ready to write PGCET again.

Hope it helps !
