Options After the Tentative Allotment
Once the MCA tentative allotment is out, candidates are generally required to exercise one of the options available on the portal - such as accepting the allotted seat, or opting to remain in consideration for a better seat in a later round - within the confirmation window. The exact set of options and their labels (for example, "accept and freeze" or "decline and upward") should be confirmed from the instructions displayed on your own tn-mbamca.com dashboard, as portal terminology can vary slightly between counselling cycles.
- Candidates satisfied with the tentative allotment should confirm it within the stipulated window.
- Candidates who do not confirm within the deadline risk losing the tentatively allotted seat.
- Confirmed allotments move forward to the provisional allotment list, after which candidates report to the allotted institution with original documents for verification and admission formalities.
What Happens After Provisional Allotment
After the provisional allotment list is published, candidates need to report to their allotted college on the specified date, carry original certificates for physical verification, and complete fee payment and admission formalities directly at the institution. Candidates who are not allotted a seat in the main counselling round, or who opt to wait for a better allotment but do not receive one, become eligible for supplementary counselling, which is conducted offline at Government College of Technology (GCT), Coimbatore.
