Who is affected?
This update is for candidates seeking admission through Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC) counselling 2026 who are eligible to participate in the second spot round. It is especially important for applicants who were not allotted a seat earlier, did not complete an earlier admission step, or are waiting for remaining seat opportunities through the official counselling portal.
Required student action
Candidates must complete online registration and choice submission before the July 27 deadline. After allocation, they must upload documents, respond to any query, use the withdrawal option if needed, complete IIMC document verification and submit the first-semester fee by the relevant deadline. Missing a required post-allocation action can cost the candidate the allotted seat in this round.
How to complete IIMC second spot round counselling
- Open the official IIMC admission and eCounselling portal.
- Read the second spot round counselling schedule and confirm that you are eligible for round 5 participation.
- Complete online registration and choice submission within the July 24 to July 27, 2026 window.
- Check the seat allocation result on July 28, 2026.
- If allotted, upload documents and respond to any candidate query during July 29 and July 30.
- Use the seat-withdrawal option in the same July 29 and July 30 window if you decide not to continue with the allotted seat.
- Track document verification by IIMC on July 29 and July 30.
- Submit the first-semester fee, minus Rs 20,000, by July 31 if your admission instructions require it.
- Save the payment receipt, allotment details and counselling confirmations for admission reporting.
What happens if the deadline is missed?
The official schedule gives separate deadlines for registration and choice submission, document upload, query response, seat withdrawal, document verification and fee submission. If a candidate misses the applicable step, the admission process for the allotted seat may not move forward. Students should not wait until the final hour because counselling portals can be slow near deadlines.
