INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES WHO HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE

on the waiting list and considered for admission in place of those candidates to whom firm

preferences to the programmes of their choice out of a number of given programmes, as a
matrix, it is not possible to predict the exact chance of admission for the candidates on the
waiting list. Since admissions to different programmes are made through a combined process,
it is not possible to assign waiting list numbers to each of the candidate since the waitlist
position will vary for different programmes depending on the way in which candidates have
given their preferences. However, you are advised to check the following website, which will
give latest information on the cut-off scores for admission, which may help you in making some
