Hi aspirant,

Yes! This can happen. Suppose you keep IIT Mandi Mechanical at first position and NIT Trichy CS at the second position and if you get NIT Trichy CS in the second round. If you don't lock the choice and keep it for slide, then let's say in the fifth round you get IIT Mandi Mechanical then you can not go back and take Trichy CS again. You will have to take IIT Mandi Mechanical.

I hope I explained properly if you still have any doubt pls comment.

Thank you so much. So i have better chances of getting into a better NIT through my Mains rank alone, right? And if I do go through advanced ranking, I should prioritise NITs??

Yes! Exactly. I guess you do know that you'll have to fill both NITs and IITs in the same list. I would suggest you to fill the choices in the decreasing order of your preference.Let's say you want to study CSE and you know you won't get it in IITs. So, suppose if you think, you can get CSE in top  NITs then you shouldn't fill any other branch( which isn't CSE) of lower ranked IITs above it.
