Understanding the Seat Sliding & Upgradation System

The TG EAPCET sliding mechanism is fully automated. Understanding it prevents costly mistakes.

{[ { rule: "Rule 1: Auto-Cancellation on New Allotment", detail: "If Phase 2 allots you a NEW seat (different college or branch), your Phase 1 seat is INSTANTLY and PERMANENTLY cancelled — there is no going back. You cannot reclaim Phase 1 under any reason.", variant: "danger", icon: "🚨" }, { rule: "Rule 2: Phase 1 Seat Stays Safe If No New Allotment", detail: "If you participate in Phase 2 web options but are NOT allotted any new seat (because your rank didn't qualify), your Phase 1 seat remains completely intact and unaffected.", variant: "success", icon: "✅" }, { rule: "Rule 3: Enter ONLY Better Options Than Phase 1", detail: "The golden rule: only list colleges/branches that you prefer MORE than your Phase 1 allotment. If College B is worse than College A (your Phase 1), do not include College B at all.", variant: "primary", icon: "💡" }, { rule: "Rule 4: Fresh Options Required — Phase 1 Options Wiped", detail: "Your Phase 1 web options list is completely erased. The Phase 2 system requires you to enter a brand new preference list. Do not assume anything is carried over.", variant: "warning", icon: "⚠️" }, { rule: "Rule 5: No Phase 3 in Engineering (Generally)", detail: "TG EAPCET Engineering typically runs 2 phases. After Phase 2, remaining seats go to spot admissions or management quota. Phase 2 is usually the last chance for a seat upgrade through counselling.", variant: "info", icon: "ℹ️" }, ].map((item, i) => (
