RMCAAP 2023 Seat Allocation Process

On the basis of the performance of the candidates in their previous qualifying examination/entrance examination and availability of seats, the RMCAAP officials will allocate seats to the candidates on the basis of “Higher Merit Allotted First”. Once the candidates are allocated seats, they will be issued a “Seat Allotment Letter”. After the candidates

 Are issued a “Seat Allotment Letter”, they have to report at their allocated institute and get their documents and certificates verified by the admission officials of the institute. The candidates must carry all their original documents and certificates for the verification purpose to the allocated institute. Finally, the institutes will issue a provisional admission letter against the name of the candidates bearing the seal and signature of a competent authority of the institute. If any candidate fails to report at the allocated institution within the given timeline, his/her seat will be cancelled and those seats will be available for the “Upward Movement” process.
