The selection process is entirely merit-based, utilizing the ranks secured by candidates in the OJEE 2026 or JEE Main 2026 entrance exams. The committee conducts three primary rounds of seat allotment, where candidates are assigned seats based on their merit rank and the preferences submitted during the choice-filling phase.

Following the allotment, candidates must undergo a mandatory document verification process at designated nodal centers. Failure to verify documents or pay the seat confirmation fee within the stipulated timeframe results in the cancellation of the allotted seat. The process also includes options for candidates to freeze, float, or slide their allotted seats to better suit their academic preferences in subsequent rounds.
