  so, they will not be considered for any subsequent rounds in the NEET-UG 2024 admission process. However, if the candidate chooses to resign from the allotted seat before
  the stipulated deadline, they will remain eligible to participate in Round 2 and Round 3.
• If a candidate is selected in Round 1 of counseling but does not report to the allotted institute, it will be considered a "free exit" (this option is available only in Round 1 and
  Round 2). No new registration is required in this case. However, the candidate can participate in Round 2 and Round 3 by logging in with their existing registration details and
  submitting fresh preferences. The seat allotted in Round 1 will be canceled. The unclaimed seat will be treated as vacant as of the last date of joining, and from the next day,
  it will be available for allotment in Round 2 of the admission process.
