Each choice of institute or branch must be such that you know completely what you are asking for. Include onlythose choices in your list where you are really prepared to go if you get an allotment. One must refrain from“gambling” or “take-a-chance” approach. No choice should be included in “half hearted” manner. It should nothappen that after getting an allotment you say “Oh! I did not want it”. If that is so, it should not have been in thelist of choices.Maintaining strict order of preference is also very important. Assume that what you really want is at no. 17 in yourlist but you get choice no. 13. In the subsequent rounds, choice no. 1 to 12 only will be considered.
