• Indicate this during registration

Note: Once claimed, candidates cannot have higher rankings than those candidates that have equal final scores and have not claimed this weightage

Step 6: Fill Choice of Institutes and Branches

After registration and document upload, the choice filling window opens. This is where you select and arrange your preferred institutes and branches in order of priority.

Key rules for choice filling:

• All institutes and branches for which you are eligible are displayed on the portal
• Arrange choices in your actual order of preference, Slot 1 is highest priority
• Fill as many choices as possible, do not limit yourself to 2 or 3 options
• Before filling, visit individual institute websites to check fee structure, placement records, hostel availability, and infrastructure
• Lock your choices before the deadline, the system may auto-lock saved choices at the deadline, but if no choices are saved, you will not be considered for allotment
• Once choices are locked, they cannot be changed

DTE MP Rule Book advisory: Candidates are strongly advised to visit institute websites for first-hand information on fee structure, campus life, internships, placements, labs, libraries, hostels, and sports facilities before making their choice. DTE MP is not responsible for any discrepancy in institute-level information.

Step 7: Pay the Counselling / Registration Fee

Pay the applicable registration and counselling fee online through the portal using Debit Card, Credit Card, Net Banking, or UPI. Keep the payment receipt for future reference.

Common Mistakes to Avoid During MP DTE Registration

• Wrong category selection: Category cannot be changed from General to Reserved after submission. Selecting the wrong category means missing out on your reservation benefits permanently for that session.
• Outdated or incorrect certificate format: Certificates not in the prescribed DTE MP format are rejected during document verification even if the content is correct.
• Not locking choices: Saved choices are auto-locked by the system at the deadline, but only if they were saved. If you did not save any choices, the system has nothing to auto-lock and you are not considered for allotment.
• Providing wrong mobile number or email: All portal-based communication goes to the contact details you register with. An inactive or wrong number means you miss important updates.
• Ignoring the grievance window: If your merit list position or personal details have an error, the grievance window is the only time to fix it. Missing this window means you participate with incorrect data.
