Counselling for UPESEAT 2022

Candidates have to wait for the results of the entrance test which will be declared on the date decided by the authority conducting the exam. The results will be released on the official website of the exam and candidates have to visit the website and know their performance in the test. Students who have qualified the exam will get an opportunity to take part in the counselling. Qualifying the exam requires the candidates to pass with the required cutoff marks. 

The cutoff marks are nothing but the minimum qualifying marks the candidates have to score in the test to either be eligible to move to the next stage of admission or to get selected for the course finally. The marks scored by the candidates must be either equal to the cutoff or greater than that. The cutoff score will be set by the authorities conducting the exam and will be announced either before the results are released or along with the release of the results. Sometimes cutoff marks are declared a short duration after result release. 

Candidates have to compare their score in the exam with the cutoff marks, if the score is either equal to the cutoff or greater than that, they can take part in the counselling. Individuals who passed the exam with the required score can visit the designated website and download the call letter for attending the counselling process and also the date, time and location at which the counselling has to be attended. 

Individuals who have qualified the written test will also likely receive the invitation to attend the counselling process and other related information on their email ids also. Those who have passed the written test with required marks can also start browsing their email ids also regularly after the results are declared. Applicants who should attend the counselling process must download the result copy and invitation to attend the counselling process from the designated website or from their respective email ids (if the details are sent to it). 

The candidates should keep the required documents ready, they should have photocopies of the documents and also the originals. The documents to be kept ready are provided below:
