FAQ for SPOT Round Allotment
Why are the SPOT Round 1 cutoff scores lower in some programs, and why were some applicants Not Allotted despite meeting those cutoff requirements?"
Explanation:
For example, consider a Program Name “ABC” and it has 10 seats in anyone category. During regular Round Allotment, 6 seats were filled with the scores: 77, 66, 52, 48, 42, 37. And 4 seats were vacant for Spot round.
Now, in spot round 15 candidates applied for these 4 vacant seats with the following the scores” 65, 55, 48, 62, 72, 82, 47, 45, 41, 40, 39, 36, 32, 26 and 20.
For allotment, already admitted students of regular round is indexed/ranked with spot round applicants, thus their rank/Index and allotment scenario will be:
Seat No | Regular Round Admitted Candidate’s Score | Spot round Applicant Scores | Combined (Regular Admitted + Spot Applicants) Rank | Allotment in SPOT Round 1 | Remarks |
1 | 77 | 65 | 82 (SR) | 82 (SR) |
|
2 | 66 | 55 | 77 (RR) | 77 (RR) | |
3 | 52 | 48 | 72 (SR) | 72 (SR) | |
4 | 48 | 62 | 66 (RR) | 66 (RR) | |
5 | 42 | 72 | 65 (SR) | 65 (SR) | |
6 | 37 | 82 | 62 (SR) | 62 (SR) | |
7 |
| 47 | 55 (SR) | 52 (RR) | 1st Case: These are the admitted student of Regular Round 1, Consequently Cutoff will be 37.
2nd Case: If 37 also withdrawn Admission from the Regular Round on closing day, then 1 more admission will take place by Score 55 and Cutoff will be 42 |

(RR) = Regular Round, (SR) = Spot Round.
In the clarification, we had not considered the case of upgradation and freeze with regular round, if considered, it will have few more other scenarios also.
