What to Do After the Second Allotment List
Candidates allotted a seat in the second list are generally required to exercise a freeze, slide, or float option and complete admission formalities before classes begin. The official schedule confirms PG classes start on August 21, 2026, which means any confirmation, document verification, or fee payment step tied to the second list needs to be completed shortly before that date. The department's public schedule does not spell out a separate freeze/slide/float window or fee deadline specifically for the second list at the time of writing - candidates should check the SAMS portal notice board directly for this.
Important Instructions for Candidates
- Only candidates who completed the choice-locking process within the notified window (July 27 - August 2, 2026) are eligible for allotment in the subsequent rounds, including the second list.
- Check your Second Allotment List 2026 status directly on the official portal; no other website or mode is authorized to publish this result.
- Since PG classes are scheduled to commence on August 21, 2026, complete any confirmation, document verification, or fee payment linked to your allotment well before this date.
- Keep your admit card, scorecard, and category certificate (if any) ready as PDF and printed copies for quick reference during reporting.
