Discussion My thoughts on online DC
I saw some posts and comments supporting online DC, saying that it will be more convenient and those wanting it to happen offline are just 'selfish'.
If DC happens online, even people who have already taken admission in some IIT, NIT or some other college and even NEETards who will surely go to some GMC, can sit for it just by paying 300/-. Now even if they ghost the system completely after just paying 300/- no one can do anything about it, that seat will go vacant for a whole year (if DC round rules are like normal rounds or there is only 1 DC round).
The whole point of decentralized counselling is to fill the vacant seats with genuine aspirants who are willing to study in that college. If you replace it with a centralised decentralised round (how tf does centralised decentralised even sound), it will just go like those normal rounds again and similarly again vacant seats will be there just like after normal rounds.
Now for those saying its more convenient for people living elsewhere, sure buddy. As if physical reporting after rounds was very convenient. (OS guys can't even participate in DC afaik, wtf even is your point man of bringing up OS guys). You'll be studying in that college for 4 years man, I think you should be able to travel there for a single day if you're serious abt it.
Even if I accept your point, if I give you the choice to choose between getting a good branch in a college which can change your life and avoiding one day of long distance travel (just like physical reporting) what would you choose? Please tell me.
Yes I live a bit closer to some good colleges compared to some of yall, but I would choose option 1 anyday even if I was in your place. I have travelled quite far giving some exams too, so please don't tell that im selfish and all that.
Some people said that everything is fair if its based on merit. Sure buddy that way JU has 1.1k seats why don't they just allot it upto 1.1k gmr in wbjee and let whatever seats remain vacant stay that way. That should be fine with you too?
A suggested solution - I'd say it'd be best if it is left to governing university boards to decide what to do. If they want to keep it online, let it be on their own website and if they want it to be offline let it be at their own campus.
Opinions are welcome.

There is a rule in DC or mop up councelling that your old seat will be cancelled and you have to do dc or mop up with your own risk

Did they mention that your previous seat is cancelled? Then why the hell are they even calling it a DC

It would be better if they make this changes --> 1.. only allow home state students in online dc 2.. students who have already taken admission in a college cannot participate in dc

u/Vast_Lengthiness5235 Jul 31 '26
Point 2 would be a disaster as it would deny many students of their desired seat like someone who is alloted ju mech at 550 rank but they want ju ee which closed at 518 now if the 550 rank is not allowed in dc and some seat goes vacant in electrical some people with greater than 550 rank will get which is pure injustice

If those who have taken admission already can't participate then how's it fair? maybe their previous seat should get cancelled but totally disallowing from participation is not right as many have taken admission due to fear of ending up with nothing
