Of the total 23,468 seats, 5,188 remained available for the institutional round, which began on October 3 and concludes on October 6. A total of 49,843 students registered for the 2026-27 academic year. Through three centralised rounds, 14,161 students were admitted, with the institutional round adding 4,119 as of October 5. Candidates seeking admission through the institutional round must complete the process by October 6. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The CET Cell data shows that over 31,500 registered students remain unplaced, even as 5,188 seats are still open in the concluding institutional round. This gap highlights a mismatch between student preferences and seat availability across the 224 colleges. The October 6 deadline will determine whether the remaining seats are filled or left vacant. The institutional round ends on October 6. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Straight data release with no commentary or slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
