PROCEDURE FOR ONLINE REGISTRATION OF OPTIONS

All options for which the candidate is eligible will be displayed on the Home Page. The candidate may follow the directions given therein to register the options. The data entered should be saved regularly by clicking the ‘save’ button, so that the data already entered is not lost due to unexpected reasons. The candidate should enter only those options in which he/she is interested. Candidate should also note that he /she will be considered for allotment only to those programmes and colleges opted by him or her. So a candidate who has not opted for a programme-college combination will not be considered for allotment for that combination. Existing options, registered by the candidate and available in the home page can be cancelled by clicking the delete button. All options registered by the candidate will be processed. If a candidate gets allotted to a particular seat, based on his or her option, he /she is bound to accept it, failing which, he /she will lose that allotment as well as his /her claims for any seats in any stream. Such candidates will not be eligible for any further allotment in any stream. The options for college(s) and programme(s) can be done while filing online registration of personal and academic data or subsequently within the last date of submission of application.   No extension of time will be granted for registering options under any circumstances. The maximum no. of colleges that can be opted by an applicant is 20 (Twenty).

Options have to be registered only through the website www.mgu.ac.in. Based on their eligibility, candidates should register their options in their ‘Home Page’ for the programmes and colleges, within the stipulated time, for being considered for allotment. Candidates can visit the website and follow the instructions given therein to register their options. 

 

THE STEPS INVOLVED IN REGISTERING OPTIONS ARE SUMMARIZED BELOW:

The options in the ‘home page’ of the candidate at the time specified for closing of registration of options alone will be considered for processing. Once the candidate completes the option entry, he/she can view his/ her options by clicking on the ‘View Option List’ provided. An option list will be generated and the candidate can take a print out of the same and keep it for future reference. If the candidate wants to change his/her option already registered, he/she may revise the options as desired and should see that the options are listed as per his/her priority.

PROCESSING OF OPTIONS AND PUBLICATION OF RANK LIST

Before the Trial Allotment, the application details as entered by the candidate will be published for verification by the candidates. Candidates will have the provision to modify option details even at this stage. Rank list shall be prepared on the basis of the ranking marks arrived at as per the rules in this regard. 

Trial Allotment:  A Trial Allotment will be conducted to give an idea about the chances of getting allotment to a programme and college based  on the options, merit and the reservation norms. The trial allotment does not guarantee that the candidate will get allotment in a college or programme of his/her choice, for ranks may vary in the actual allotment subject to data modification by the applicants after the trial allotment.

First Allotment: After the Trial Allotment and the period earmarked for rearranging options, the first Allotment list will be published in the website                 www.mgu.ac.inorwww.cap.mgu.ac.in on the date to be notified.  A provisional Allotment Memo will be displayed in the website and the candidate shall take a print out of the same to be produced in the bank for remitting the required fee. The allotment memo will show the personal details, the college and the programme to which the candidate is allotted and the fee to be remitted.  

Remitting of Fee: The prescribed fee due to the University will have to be remitted by the candidate to the account specified by the University in any designated branch of State Bank of Travancore as enlisted in Annexure -III as  per the time schedule prescribed.  Once the candidate remits the prescribed fee, the bank will acknowledge the receipt of the fee by affixing the seal in the student’s copy of the allotment memo.

Kerala SC/ST candidates, who get allotment, shall remit a token amount of Rs.50/-. The payment of fees through any other mode of remittance will not be accepted.

CANCELLATION OF OPTIONS/ALTERATION OF PRIORITY OF OPTION AS AFTER THE FIRST ALLOTMENT

Candidates who remit the fee as per the first allotment within the prescribed time limit will have the facility to cancel/alter the priority of their higher order options in the list of options registered by them before the next allotment. This facility will be activated in the ‘Home Page’ of the candidates on the dates notified.

Those candidates who do not remit the fee on or before the date specified, will lose their current allotment as well as the eligibility for further allotments.

 

After the first allotment, the options below the ‘allotted one’ of the candidates will automatically be removed from the option list of the candidate. For example, if a candidate had registered 40 options in all, and if he/she is allotted his/her 20th option, all options from 21 to 40 will be automatically removed from the option list.  Options from 1 to 19 will remain valid and will be considered for future allotments. He/she may delete/rearrange any options among the remaining options as per his/her desire.  But the candidate will not be permitted to register any fresh option to the existing ones.

Existing options registered by candidate, available in the Home Page, can be deleted by clicking the delete button. Deleting/Changing of preference of options must be done one at a time, each time clicking the ‘Delete’ button.

If a candidate is satisfied with an allotment and does not want to be considered again for further allotment(s), he/she must cancel all the remaining higher options.  A candidate retaining all or any of his/her higher options after an allotment, is bound to accept the next allotment, if any, failing which he/she will lose the previous  allotment as well as the new allotment.  He/She will not be considered for any further allotments.
