Why Round 2 is Important?
Round 2 is a golden chance for:
Candidates who missed out on Round 1 – If you didn’t get a seat in the first round, now’s your chance.
Candidates who want to upgrade their seat – If you’re looking to move from a lower-ranked college to a better one, Round 2 allows you to do that. Plus, there’s no penalty for resigning your seat from Round 1, thanks to the free-exit feature.
Round 2 is especially important because it allows for further seat redistribution under the 15% All India Quota (AIQ). So, it’s not just for new candidates—those from Round 1 still have a shot at a better medical college.
