The third counselling for Class 11 admissions in UT government schools is set to begin from Tuesday. This comes after the UT education department had earlier said that there will not be a need for a third counselling this year.

No new applications or migration cases will be considered in this round. There are 1,583 seats up for grabs in the third counselling, including 113 in medical, 459 in non-medical, 244 in commerce, 372 in humanities and 395 in skill courses.
Officials said that school-wise list of vacant seats will be uploaded on the education department’s website soon. At the start of second counselling, there were 2,415 seats in the fray.
In previous years, the compartment the second round of counselling was conducted before the release of compartment exam results of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The provisionally admitted students who could not clear the exams would vacate their seats and the need for a third counselling would arise. This year, however, the second counselling was conducted after the release of these results.
