The committee has issued a special advisory to students and parents, urging them to carefully check the availability of seats under different categories before filling their choices. Candidates have also been advised to verify the tuition fees and other applicable charges for each course and institution.

Candidates allotted MBBS or BDS seats in Round 3 must report to their respective institutions within the prescribed deadline. Failure to report will result in forfeiture of the security deposit and disqualify them from participating in the fourth round.
