This delay in approvals has left several students and parents in a state of frustration.

As many as 21,316 candidates attended the certificate verification process, and 12,691 exercised web options for seat and institution allotment in the web counselling conducted from June 26 to July 1. The seat allotment, as per the schedule, was to be done on or before July 4, with payment of the fee and self-reporting through the website between July 4 and 6.

Further, as per the initial schedule, registration for the final phase web counselling can be done on July 9 and 10, certification verification is scheduled for July 11 and web options on July 11 and 12. Provisional seat allotment is on or before July 15, with payment of tuition and self-reporting online on July 15 and 16.

Reporting at the allotted college can be done between July 15 and 17, while the academic session with orientation is scheduled from July 15 to 17 and class work from July 18. This entire schedule is expected to get disrupted due to the delay in the first phase seat allotment.
