This system ensures that the seats reserved for candidates from Uttar Pradesh are filled before considering non-UP candidates.

The first phase of counseling will focus on verifying documents and completing the admission formalities for the allocated institutions. The second round of counseling will allow candidates to select from any remaining seats. If there are unfilled reserved category seats after the first round, those will be transferred to the general category and opened for all candidates. This ensures that all available seats are filled efficiently.
