If you don't get your first-choice college after the AIE CET counseling process, don't worry—there are several options and steps you can take:
Consider Second or Third Choice: During the counseling process, you likely chose multiple colleges in order of preference. If your first choice is unavailable, you will be allotted your next available choice based on your rank and seat availability. It’s important to keep an open mind and evaluate other options that align with your academic and career goals.
Participate in Subsequent Counseling Rounds: Many institutions offer multiple rounds of counseling, where unfilled seats from earlier rounds are reallocated. If your first-choice college is still an option in later rounds, you may be able to secure a seat.
Evaluate the Allotted College: Even if you didn’t get your top choice, the allotted college may still offer strong academic programs, excellent infrastructure, and good placement opportunities. Consider the reputation of the institution, faculty, and facilities before making any decisions.
Opt for Waitlist: In some cases, you may be placed on a waitlist for your first-choice college. If a seat becomes available, you might get the chance to join later.
Explore Other Admission Routes: If you're not satisfied with the allotment, consider applying directly to colleges that offer similar programs and accept AIE CET scores or other entrance exams.
