The number of seats available, the quantum of tuition fees and counselling dates would be notified in due course. Also, a separate set of counselling process documents detailing the procedure for participating in the counselling would also be made available shortly, and the candidates are required to refer to the website regularly for all the updates, besides familiarising themselves with the seat selection process, a release noted.
