FORFEITURE (REGISTRATION) FEE

• CENTAC may also prescribe forfeiture fee (in case of MBBS, etc.) for participation in any round of Counselling.

• From Round II onwards once the candidate is allotted his preferred choice the earlier admitted seat will be forfeited automatically. Under no circumstances he/she will not be permitted to retain the earlier admitted seat.
• During mop up counselling, seats will be allotted only after the entire tuition fee is paid, preferably by way of DD (Demand Draft) or through RTGS/NEFT. If the student fails to join the allotted college after mop up counselling, then an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- will be forfeited.
