Hello Deepak,

Special round is not reliable if you are aiming for the top branches. So, in those cases, the cutoff won't be much lower compared to the previous round.

So to be on a safer side, accept the seat in the normal round and then try for the special round. In that case, too you need to ensure that you are filling the choices for only those subjects that are better than what you had got in the first round.

Hope this helps. All the best!
