ILLUSTRATION FOR ALLOTMENT OF SEAT

After the verification of documents and excising options by the candidate the seats will be allotted as in previous years in the three rounds i.e.,
(1) First Round
(2) Second Round
(3) Second Extended Round.

The following system will be followed for allotment of seats. Here is a sample illustration of choice of options by a candidate:

Name of the candidate: Uma
Category: GM
Medical Rank: 262
Engineering Rank: 1200
Architecture Rank: 140
ISMH Rank: 300

In this case the candidate is interested only in Medical seat. Hence her priority of options will be Medical only and she has given the following options.

Priority Number Options Priority Number Options
Option1 M001ME Option 6 M025ME
Option 2 M013ME Option 7 M004ME
Option 3 M003ME Option 8 M041ME
Option 4 M051ME Option 9 M024ME
Option 5 M031ME

The computer starts Medical Round allotment with Rank 1. Then after completing allotment till rank 261, it reaches rank 262. Uma’s Medical rank is 262 and hence option number 1 is not available. Similarly option number 2 is not available as the candidate above her rank has already been allotted and no vacancy exists. The next option is 3 and the college code is M003ME and that option is available. Hence the computer will allot option number 3 to the candidate. The candidate can now download her allotted details and join the college and report her joining status to KEA through the Option Entry Portal, if she is satisfied with the allotment otherwise she has to exercise her options and exercise fresh options in the next round after verifying the availability of seats. The option exercised is now number 3 and the college allotted is number M003ME .

Name of the candidate: Heeba
Category : 3B
Medical Rank : 850
Engineering Rank : 1450

Priority Number Options Priority Number Options
Option1 E003EC Option 7 M015ME
Option 2 E005CS Option 8 E010CE
Option 3 M002ME Option 9 E010CS
Option 4 I702AY Option 10 N002AG
Option 5 I801HO Option 11 F006AM
Option 6 D102DE Option 12 F006FT

The candidate is considered as per her rank in each discipline as per her options in the order of priority mentioned by the candidate.

The allotment starts with the Medical discipline. All candidates who have a Medical rank will be considered and their options will be noted by the computer. In the instance case her Medical option is 3 hence, the first two options which are Engineering options will not be considered during Medical allotment stage.

CASE No. I

At Stage I : - During Medical seats allotment the candidate is picked as per her Medical rank. All her Medical options are considered i.e., 3, 6 in the order of priority. If the candidate gets her seat for the option of priority no.6 (Dental, 102, DE) then the seat will be allotted. The choice list for further stages like Engineering, ISMH, Architecture etc., will be reduced to priority from 1 to 5.

At Stage II: - During ISMH seats allotment the candidate is picked as per his/her ISMH rank. All his ISMH options are considered i.e., 4, 5 in the order of priority. The candidate does not get any ISMH seats for that rank, so her Medical seat is retained. The choice list from (1 to 5) for further stages will remain unchanged.

At Stage III:- During Engineering seats allotment the candidate is picked as per her Engineering rank. All his Engineering options above 6 (i.e., from 1 to 5) are considered. i.e., , 2 in the order of priority. If the candidate gets his/her seat for the options of priority no.2 (E005CS) then that seat will be allotted and the previously allotted seat (M003ME) will be returned to the seat matrix. The choice list for further stages like Architecture will be eliminated.

CASE No. II

At Stage I:- During Medical seat allotment the candidate is picked as per his/her Medical rank. All his Medical options are considered i.e., option no.3, 6 in the order of rank and priority. However, both these seats have been allotted to candidates higher in the merit order claiming seat in this round. The candidate is not getting any Medical seat. The choice list for further stages like Engineering, ISMH, Architecture Farm Science, B-Pharma, Pharma-D will remain unchanged.

At Stage II:- During ISMH seat allotment the candidate is picked as per his/her ISMH rank. All his ISMH options are considered i.e., 4, 5 in the order of priority. The seat at option 4 is available.

Based on the merit and priority of options the first phase of allotment begins. The computer will first allot the seats in the above mentioned order and continues in the same order. While allotting the seats in the 1st Phase at any stage, the seat allotted if any, will automatically get cancelled upon allotment of a seat in the subsequent discipline and such cancelled seat will be considered for allotment of a seat in the next iteration.

Therefore, multiple iterations may take place in the 1st Phase. The computer will stop the allotment only if the last seat is allotted or when it reaches the last rank in each discipline. That means the candidates will always be climbing upwards both in options and in roster. The order of allotment as shown above will get repeated in the 1st phase until there is no change in the allotment of any candidate.

2nd PHASE OF ALLOTMENT OF SEATS:

After allotment of seats in the first phase, action will be taken to allot the seats for the seats for the 2nd phase allotment of seats. After completion of the 1st phase of allotment of seats, the seats that remain unfilled under all the Rural and Kannada medium quota of the reserved categories will be converted to General of the respective reserved categories (SCR & SCK to SCG,STR & STK to STG,1R & 1K to 1G, 2AR & 2AK to 2AG, 2BR & 2BK to 2BG, 3AR & 3AK to 3AG, 3BR & 3BK to 3BG) before the commencement of 2nd Phase and offered ONLY to the reserved category candidates including GMR &GMK category candidates. Consequential vacancies which arise during this allotment of seats will remain in the same category and will be offered to the same reserved category candidates.

In this phase only reserved category candidates will be considered for allotment and GM candidates will not be considered. Further, GM and SNQ seats will also be not considered for allotment of seats.

IMPORTANT:

This procedure for conversion of seats will be adopted before the commencement of 2nd Phase of allotment. Further, if the reserved category candidates are allotted with a General Merit / respective reserved category seat during the 2nd phase of allotment, then a reserved category seat becomes vacant. Such seats are treated as ‘CONSEQUENTIAL VACANCIES’.These consequential reserved category vacancies that arise during the 2nd phase of allotment will remain under the same categories and will be offered only to the candidates belonging to the same reserved categories.

Therefore, many iterations may take place in the 2nd Phase also. The computer will stop the allotment only if the last seat is allotted or when it reaches the last rank in each discipline. That means the candidate will always be climbing upwards both in options and roster. The order of allotment as shown above will get repeated in the 2nd Phase until there is no change in the allotment of any candidate.

3RD PHASE OF ALLOTMENT OF SEATS:

After the allotment of seats in the second phase of allotment, the seats that remain unfilled under various reserved. General categories such as SCG,STG,1G,2AG,2BG,3AG,3BG,GMR and GMK, along with unfilled special category seats, if any, will be converted to the General Merit category and offered to GM candidates along with all other reserved category candidates in the 3rd Phase of allotment. However, the consequential Rural and Kannada medium reserved category seats that arise during the 3rd Phase of allotment and if remains un-allotted then the same seat will be converted to the General of the respective reserved categories only if there are no seats in the respective general category and will be made available for allotment only to the respective reserved category candidates during 3rd Phase of allotment.

While allotting the seats in the 3rd Phase at any stage, the seat allotted if any, will be automatically released upon allotment of a seat in subsequent stage and such released seat will be considered for allotment of a seat in the next iteration.

Based on the merit and priority of options the third phase of allotment begins. The computer will first allot the seats in the above mentioned order and continues in the same order. While allotting the seats in the 3rd Phase at any stage, the seat allotted if any,will be released automatically upon allotment of a seat in the subsequent discipline and such released seat will be considered for allotment of a seat in the next iteration.

Therefore, many iterations may take place in the 3rd Phase also.The computer will stop the allotment only if the last seatis allotted or when it reaches the last rank in each discipline. That means the candidate will always be climbing upwards both in options and roster. The order of allotment as shown above will get repeated in the 3rd Phase until there is no change in the allotment of any candidate.

Speciality of 3rd Phase of allotment is, after completion of last stage of allotment of seats, the seats remained unallottedif any, in any reserved category will be converted to GM automatically and will be offered to all the eligible candidates from 1st to last rank based on the priority of options entered.
