DASA UG 2025 Choice Filling Dates
All eligible and registered candidates need to choose their preferred courses and institutes based on their JEE Main ranks during DASA 2025 counselling. It is important that candidates "submit" their saved choices. If they don't submit within the given time, their last saved choices will be automatically submitted when the time is up.
Candidates can select and submit as many choices as they want, in the order they prefer.
DASA UG Seat Allotment Dates 2025
DASA UG 2025 seat allotment happens in several rounds: four main rounds and one special round. Seats are given to candidates based on their JEE Main ranks. After each round of seat allotment, candidates must choose what to do with the seats they are offered. If a seat is allotted, candidates have the following options:
-
Accept: The candidate must directly report to the assigned institute as per the schedule. They cannot join the DASA special round, but they will be automatically considered for "Internal Sliding" after the final round.
-
Accept & Upgrade: The candidate will take part in the next rounds and be considered for higher preferences, but they cannot join the DASA special round.
-
Decline: The candidate leaves the entire counselling process, including the special round. The tuition fee will be refunded, but some deductions will be made as per the refund rules.
DASA 2025 Special Round Counselling Dates
The updated seat matrix will be shown on the DASA website after the internal sliding process is completed. The available vacant seats will then be allotted in the DASA 2025 special round. Candidates who are already registered but did not receive any seat allotment so far are eligible to refill their choices for the special round, based on the vacant seats.
In this round, candidates must submit new choices, as all previous choices from earlier rounds will be cleared. Applicants who declined their allotments or withdrew/canceled their applications at any point are not eligible for the DASA 2025 special round.
