What is IPU Counselling?

IPU Counselling (also called GGSIPU Online Counselling) is a multi-round, online admission process. After your qualifying entrance exam result is declared, you need to register on the official IPU admission portal, pay the counselling fee, fill in your college and course preferences (choice filling), and wait for seat allotment based on your rank, category and Delhi/Outside-Delhi region. Once a seat is allotted, you must pay the fee and report to the college for document verification.
