Tip: Put realistic dream choices at top, but also include safe options lower down. Consider category cut-offs from previous years, location, fees, bond obligations and clinical exposure.
- After finalizing, hit lock as unlocked choices will not be considered. There is usually a final deadline. Do not miss the lock deadline.
4. Seat Allotment
- BFUHS releases provisional allotment PDF listing candidates, college & speciality allotted, plus reporting window and fee/security deposit instructions. Download the PDF and search for your NEET roll number/ID.
- If you accept & report, you are required to complete joining formalities; further participation in certain rounds may be restricted depending on rules
- Failure to report within the specified window usually leads to seat forfeiture and may affect security deposit. Prospectus specifies forfeiture rules.
- If you want an upgrade you may be allowed to stay in the seat and be considered for higher preference choices in subsequent rounds. If you opt to surrender the seat to wait for another round, know the financial & eligibility consequences in the prospectus

If upgraded allotment happens, your earlier seat is replaced by the new allotment automatically. If not upgraded, you keep the earlier seat. Check BFUHS rules about whether accepting a seat prevents AIQ participation or other rounds.
- Surrendering a seat: Surrendering may allow you to participate in future rounds, but there might be financial consequences such as forfeiture of security deposit. The prospectus will show surrender deadlines and refund policy.
