Yes, you can resign from a college allotted in 2nd round of All India Counselling if you get a better option in the 3rd round of state counselling. Most AIQ rules allow withdrawal before the next round without losing eligibility. Some colleges may deduct a processing fee and you need to submit a resignation form to get your documents back. However, if you resign and don’t get a seat in state counselling, you may end up without any seat. Treat the AIQ seat as a backup only if you are confident about getting your preferred college.

Hey:)

Thanks for reaching out!

If you accept and join(i.e report and complete admission) an AIQ round-2 seat, you cannot resign later to join a state round-3 seat because the MCC rules clearly states that once a seat is accepted, the candidate is locked and is only eligible for upgradation in AIQ itself, not for shifting to state counselling. However, if you want to keep the option of getting a better seat in state round-3 counselling, you should avoid reporting to the round-2 AIQ seat ,in that case you'll lose your AIQ allotment and your security deposit will be forfeited, but you'll remain eligible for state round-3 process. So, you need to choose between securing the AIQ seat now or to take the risk for your preferred state round-3 seat.

All the best!

Hello,

Yes, you can resign from the college where you take admission in Round 2 through All India Counselling if you subsequently secure a better seat in State Counselling Round 3. A lot of students have this as an option for backup, and it is absolutely okay, but you must pay attention to the rules and deadlines.

If you take the Round 2 seat and then want to resign, you have to do so before the counselling authority's last date for resignation. If you resign during that time, you will generally be refunded your documents and most of your fees except a nominal processing or deduction fee. But if you don't meet the deadline, you might not receive any refund, and your seat could get locked, which can prevent you from enrolling with another college.

If you have already reported at the Round 2 college and submitted your original certificates, then you will have to officially notify the college and the counselling authority about your resignation decision. Only after following this procedure will you be free to join the State Round 3 seat.

One should also note that State Counselling and All India Counselling are distinct. Participating in one does not bar you from being part of the other, provided that you properly resign from the first college.

So to sum it up, yes, you can reserve your Round 2 seat as an option to fall back on and resign later if you are allocated a superior seat in State Round 3. All you have to do is adhere to the official rules and submit your resignation within the stipulated timeframe.

Wish you the best for your counselling process!
