CEE Kerala opens fresh option registration for PG ayurveda stray vacancy round

The Office of the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram, has opened the facility for option registration for the third round of stray vacancy allotment to PG Ayurveda Courses-2025.

In this round, a fresh option registration facility is available to the eligible candidates. Current vacancy status is published on the website. If new vacancies arise due to any candidate quitting his/her currently admitted seat before the upcoming seat allotment process, those vacant seats will also be included in the allotment process. As applicable category conversions of seats will take place in this stray vacancy allotment, while registering options for the stray vacancy allotment, candidates may take into account those probable vacancies too that may arise due to the applicable category conversions. Candidates may register options for any seat they wish to join if allotted, irrespective of the current vacancy status of that seat, as any vacancy that may arise before or during the upcoming seat allotment process will also be included in the seat allotment process.

Those who have already been admitted will not be eligible to participate in further allotments. Those who have gotten allotments in the third round allotment/SVR-1/SVR-II will not be eligible to participate in further allotments. Those candidates who are included in the list of candidates prohibited from participation in further allotments, shared by the AACCC, which is available on the website, will not be considered for the stray vacancy round allotment. Those candidates who are blocked from further participation in state quota allotments on account of being admitted to an AIQ seat will not be considered in this and subsequent phases of the state admission procedures and candidates allotted a seat in the third round and stray vacancy rounds of the All India Counseling will also be ineligible to participate in this and subsequent phases of the state allotments.

The options registered in the previous rounds will not be considered for stray vacancy round allotment. Hence, candidates have to register the option afresh if they wish to participate in the stray vacancy round allotment.

Options have to be registered through the Online Option Registration facility accessible after logging on to the Candidate portal at www.cee.kerala.gov.in by giving the Application Number & Password through the link “PG Ayurveda - 2025 Candidate Portal.” Candidates can register their options online by clicking the menu ‘Option Registration.’

Those candidates who have not registered in Round I/Round 2/Round 3/SVR-1/SVR-II shall have to pay the registration fee for fresh registration as given in the Notification. The registration fee can be remitted by way of online payment. The registration fee of those candidates who do not get allotment will be refunded. If a candidate gets an allotment and does not join within the stipulated time, the option registration fee will be considered as penalty and will not be refunded. The option registration fee of the candidates who quit the seats after taking admission will be considered as a penalty and will not be refunded. Refund of the option registration fee for the eligible candidates will be made only after the completion of the allotment process, and it will be notified.

If a candidate freshly registers in a stray vacancy round and is not allotted any seat, he/she is eligible to participate in further stray vacancy rounds, if any.

Candidates getting allotment in the stray vacancy round shall not have any claim on earlier rounds' allotted seats. The options registered in this stray vacancy allotment will not be considered for further stray vacancy seat-filling rounds, if any.
