AIEEE counselling goes online – AIEEE counselling – AIEEE 2009 counselling – Counselling AIEEE

CCB has decided to do away with the time- consuming regular counselling system

The AIEEE results are out and students are keen to get into their preferred institutions. But the Central Counselling Board (CCB) that will oversee the admissions to 20 National Institutes of Technology (NITs), five Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) and 11 Central and State funded universities and 19 self-financed institutes based on AIEEE ranks has changed its admission procedure from this year.

Doing away with the time-taking regular counselling, the CCB has decided to conduct counselling online for the convenience of the students and their parents. In this procedure, candidates can exercise their choices for branches and institutes online using Internet. The CCB, along with NIC, New Delhi, has developed the required procedure and software, according to Y.V. Rao, Chairman, CCB, and Director, National Institute of Technology (NIT), Warangal.

In the new procedure, all the candidates declared eligible for central counselling based on the AIEEE 2009 ranks will have to register online from June 8 to June 28, 2009. Candidates have to verify their personal credentials such as category, sub-category, state of eligibility, gender and address for communication. Provision has been made in the software to modify these details.

After registration, the software will generate options for different branches and institutes based on the eligibility of the candidate. The candidates can give as many numbers of options as they are eligible for.

From June 8 to 24 indicative seat allotments will be shown. This will facilitate the candidates to choose the branch and institute as per their rank. Between June 8 and 28, all the candidates have to lock their choices. Before doing so, the candidates can change their options any number of times, but after locking, the choices cannot be changed.

After the due date, the system will automatically allot the seat based on merit and other parameters such as reservations, taking into view the preferences given by the candidate. The allotment results will be displayed on the website ‘ www.ccb.nic.in.’ Individual allotment letters will not be sent to the candidates and they have to download the allotment details.

Certificate verification

All the successful candidates, who are allotted seats, have to report to any one of the designated admission centres for remote reporting. Candidates who fail to report at the admission centres will forego their allotment and they will not be considered for further rounds of counselling.

During the remote reporting, every candidate has to produce all the certificates in original such as admit card, score card, proof of date of birth, proof of passing qualifying examination, caste certificate, income certificate, medical certificate and state of eligibility certificate.

Also, an initial fee of Rs. 25,000 has to be paid by the candidate. A provisional admission letter will be issued to the candidate. Candidates will also have an option to give their willingness to consider their higher preferred choices against vacant seats in further rounds of seat allotment.

All the candidates who take provisional admission have to report to their institutes from July 16 to 24. Candidates who fail to report by July 24 will forego their provisional admission. Details can be had on www.ccb.nic.in
