Yes, you can resign from a college allotted in 2nd round of All India Counselling if you get a better option in the 3rd round of state counselling. Most AIQ rules allow withdrawal before the next round without losing eligibility. Some colleges may deduct a processing fee and you need to submit a resignation form to get your documents back. However, if you resign and don’t get a seat in state counselling, you may end up without any seat. Treat the AIQ seat as a backup only if you are confident about getting your preferred college.

The student may be eligible for a partial or full refund of the Rs.10,000 security deposit (Rs.5,000 each for ABVMU UPCNET and UPCPNET), depending on the refund policy of the respective counselling authorities.

Usually:

If the seat is not taken or admission is not completed, and the student withdraws within the given time, security deposit is refundable after deducting any processing charges.

But if the student got a seat and didn’t join, refund may not be guaranteed unless the university explicitly allows it under area/location-related withdrawal cases.

The student should immediately:

1. Check the official brochure or counselling guidelines for refund rules.

2. Email or contact the counselling authority (ABVMU or concerned university).

3. Attach proof of allotment and payment receipts while requesting a refund.

Note: Refund rules vary each year, so direct confirmation from the official source is the safest step.

Hello,

Yes, if you were allotted a seat in Round 1 but didn’t take admission or chose the upgrade option, and didn’t receive a seat in Round 2, you can still participate in Round 3 without losing your security deposit—as long as you did not join the college physically or complete the admission process. It's important to follow the official guidelines during the upgrade and withdrawal steps to ensure your eligibility for further rounds.

Yes, you have to pay the 2 lakh security deposit separately for AIQ counselling (for deemed universities) and again for state counselling (if the state requires it). These are two different counselling authorities, so their processes and payments are handled separately.

For example, if you're applying through MCC for deemed universities, you’ll pay 2 lakh there. If you’re also applying for private colleges through a state counselling like Maharashtra or Tamil Nadu, that state might also ask for its own security deposit. So yes, you might end up paying both.

Hello,

Yes, if you don’t get a seat in any of the rounds, your security deposit of Rs. 2 lakh will be refunded.

The refund is usually done after the counselling process is over. Make sure your bank details are correct in your application.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

You don’t need to wait for seat allotment to pay the security deposit.

Hope it helps !

During UP AYUSH counselling, candidates must pay:

A non-refundable registration fee of rupees 2,000 for General and OBC categories, and rupees 1,500 for SC and ST categories.

A security deposit of rupees 20,000 is required for government AYUSH colleges and rupees 50,000 for private AYUSH colleges. If you choose to apply for both, you must pay rupees 50,000.

This security deposit is refundable if you do not take the allotted seat or withdraw as per counselling rules. However, if you accept the seat and later resign after joining the college, the deposit may be forfeited based on state counselling regulations.

Hello,

To get accurate details, please ask your question with the name of examination and counselling in which you are taking part.

Thank you !
