The director of the National Institute of Technology addresses confusion regarding reporting dates for students who have received seat allotments. He clarifies that students will not lose their seats if they do not report to their assigned institutes within the announced 3 day period from July 20th to 22nd. Students' seats are theirs permanently and will not be given to other candidates. While early reporting is recommended to avoid losing attendance, students should not panic if they cannot report within 3 days as there is no deadline from the counseling board. Institutes are requested to permit students to join within a reasonable time period like one week after classes start.
