While 35 students were allotted seats afresh, 412 of them were reallotted seats in better colleges or colleges of their choice. While 365 students were realloted seats in government medical colleges, 29 were allotted seats in ESIC colleges and 51 in self-financing colleges. Two of them were realloted seats in government BDS college.
