Why Choice Filling Strategy is Important in IPU Counselling
Choice filling is the most critical stage in GGSIPU counselling for all courses including B.Tech, BBA, Law, MBA, MCA and other programs. Students can select any college or branch while filling preferences, but the order of choices determines final allotment.
One wrong preference order can cause major admission loss. Therefore students must plan carefully before locking choices.
