Tips for Students in the 3rd Merit List
-
Act Quickly: The time window for completing admission after the 3rd merit list is usually short, so don’t delay.
-
Keep Backup Options: In case you are not satisfied with your allotted college, explore other institutions where seats may still be available.
-
Stay Updated: Check the official website regularly for any updates, as the university might release further instructions or spot admission notices.
Why the 3rd Merit List Matters
For many students, the 3rd merit list is the last major opportunity to get admission through the centralised process. LNMU may conduct a spot admission round later, but that depends on the availability of seats. Therefore, if you find your name in this merit list, it is advisable to proceed with the admission process immediately.
Common Reasons Students Miss the First Two Lists
-
Not meeting the cutoff in earlier rounds
-
Delay in document verification or fee payment
-
Preference for a particular college or course which was not allotted earlier
-
Technical errors during the application process
