In the context of the Central Allotment Process (CAP) application for Mahatma Gandhi University (MGU), "free chance" generally refers to the number of times you can participate in the counseling or allotment process without it being counted as an official attempt. Here’s what it typically implies:

1. Initial Rounds: In some universities, the first few rounds of allotment might be considered as "free chances." This means that even if you are allotted a seat but do not accept it, it won't be counted as an attempt.

2. Flexibility in Choice: You might have the flexibility to try for a better course or college without the risk of losing a chance in the initial stages.

3. No Penalty: If you do not get a seat in the initial rounds or if you do not accept the seat offered, it will not be counted against the total number of chances you have for the allotment process.

Importance of Free Chances
