Step-by-step choice filling
- Open the official Haryana technical admission portal.

- Save, review and lock the choices before the closing time.

What happens if the deadline is missed?
A candidate who misses choice filling cannot receive an allotment based on absent choices. Failure to report within the allotted period can result in loss of the seat. Incorrect documents can also cause automatic cancellation. Institute-level admission after round two is not automatic; candidates must respond to official vacancy notices issued by individual institutes.
