What the Round 2 Seat Matrix Shows
The Round 2 seat matrix is the official vacancy report published by ACPC after Round 1 confirmation closes. It shows how many seats remain at each institute-branch combination, split by quota and reservation category. Students who did not receive a Round 1 seat or want to upgrade to a preferred college or branch use this data to plan their Round 2 choices.
Each entry in the matrix covers one institute-branch-category combination and includes:
- Approved intake: Total sanctioned seats for that branch at the institute.
- Allotted in Round 1: Seats confirmed by students who paid the Round 1 token fee.
- Available for Round 2: Seats that remain vacant, including those freed by students who withdrew after Round 1 allotment.
Separate PDFs are published for the Home State (GUJCET) quota and the All India (JEE Main) quota. Students should download the matrix that corresponds to the merit list under which they applied.
