Counselling Procedure

Information taken from the CCB site for students help.
The counselling procedure is divided in two phases:

Phase-I : Off-Campus On-Line Counselling
Phase-II: On-Campus On-line Counselling

The counselles will have access, through computer screen, to category-wise information relating to
(a) Number of candidates with higher merit who would have already exercised their choices.
(b) Number of higher merit holders yet to exercise their choices.
(c) Current status of branch-wise and institution-wise available seats.
The detailed procedure is described below:
Phase-I : Off-Campus On-Line Counselling
After declaration of AIEEE results, candidates found eligible for counselling are required to exercise their initial choices of branches and institutions during Off-Campus on-line counselling through Internet (http://www.ccb.nic.in/) from places of their convenience. The candidates may contact the nearby PI for availing the Internet facility free of charge.
A candidate has to log on to the website http://www.ccb.nic.in/ and click 'off-campus' counselling button on the home page.
Login and password prompts will appear on the computer screen. Using the instructions given on the screen, candidates are to enter the login ID and password for which admit card would be required.
The procedure for exercising choices or seeking other information is menu driven. It guides the candidates through appropriate messages on the computer screen.
Information relating to institutions, disciplines (Engineering / Technology and Architecture), programmes (e.g. Electronics Engineering or Computer Science etc.) and categories (Open (OP), SC, ST etc.) will be available through each relevant dropdown menu for the purpose of exercising choices as well as for a feel of their competitive standing for their preferred choices among the logged-in candidates.
The name of counselling centre as per state of eligibility will also be displayed on computer screen during Phase-I.
The candidates are permitted, if they so desire, to change their choices, delete earlier choices and add new choices any number of times, based on the information which will appear on the computer screen. The candidates are free to consult their parents, teachers, friends and others for advice during Phase-I. The off-campus counselling will facilitate the selection of the most appropriate branch, institution and programme in candidate's categories for submitting the final choices during on-campus counselling.
Choices will be processed and indicative seat allocation will be put on the web at frequent intervals. The dates of next update of indicative seat allocation will be specified on the website.
The candidates are to note that the purpose of off-campus On-Line Counselling is only to familarise them with the counselling system and get a rough idea of the likely allotment as per merit and choices. The actual allotment will be done during Phase-II of counselling.

Phase-II : On-Campus On-Line Counselling
Eligible candidates will be required to report at specific counselling centres in accordance with their state of eligibility, which will be displayed on computer screen during Phase-I. They will have to stay there for two days. A tentative list of counselling centres is also given in this leaflet, but a final list will be available on the website http://www.ccb.nic.in/. Candidates will be required to report at the specified counselling centre. No change of counselling centres will normally be permitted only under special circumstances CCB can permit a change in the couselling centre.

DAY ONE -The Counselling Day
On the first day of reporting (day one) as per schedule, initial deposit of Rs. 15000/- for OP/OBC and Rs. 5000/- for SC/ST candidates will be collected at the computerized fee counters. The deposit is to be made through a demand draft in favour of CCB, Delhi payable at Delhi.
Thereafter the candidates will proceed to the document verification counters for verification of their certificates and admit card. Candidates are required to bring all certificates in original along with one photocopy of each and four copies of their photograph identical to the one pasted on the application form. If the original certificates are in regional language, duly certified English version / translation of such certificates will be required.
Any discrepancies related to date of birth, category, sub-category, sex and state of eligibility in the computer record generated on the basis of application form submitted earlier to CBSE by the candidate and in the original certificates will be rectified by the competent authorities at the counselling centre and their decision will be final in this regard. A printout of the modified record will be given to the candidate.
Any change in the candidate’s name, father’s name and the status of OP category shall not be permitted under any circumstances.
Candidates must ensure in their own interest, that their state of eligibility, categories, sub-categories, if any, are mentioned correctly on the printout given to them.
After verification, the candidates will be required to exercise their final choices of seats on-line by using Form 1 to indicate the choice of institution with Branch in order of their preference.
The current status of the available seats, will be continuously displayed for the guidance of candidates. They are free to change the choices filled earlier during off-campus counselling.
In order to be considered for the ‘dropout’ seats, candidates must also submit Form 2 on-line indicating their choices for institutions only. For the candidates who are unable to get an ‘offered’ seat, the Form 2 will be processed for allotment of the institution for admission without branch. The branch will be allotted later by the institution where admitted with due consideration for merit among the students joining it.
The candidates will get a printout for each of the choice forms (Form 1 & Form 2) submitted by them. A copy of each of these is to be signed by the candidate and returned after verification.

DAY TWO-The Allotment Day
The choices submitted through Form 1 on day one will be processed centrally on the following day (DAY 2) and the list of candidates who are allotted an institution along with a branch for admission will be displayed on the website.
These candidates will be given allotment letter after 12 noon in order of All India Rank (AIR) at the Counselling Centre. The candidates must bring their copy of Form 1 along with fee receipt to get the allotment letter. For admission, the candidates are to report to the allotted institution during July for ‘offered’ seats.

Allotment Against ‘Dropout’ Seats
The choices submitted through Form 2 for ‘dropout’ seats will be processed there after, only for those candidates who have not been allotted any seats as per their choices in Form 1 and list of candidates who have been allotted an institution against ‘dropout’ seats will be displayed on web on the basis of AIR for each category. These candidates will be required to directly report at the allotted institution for admission failing which the allotment will stand cancelled.
