What is a Seat Matrix?

A seat matrix, a term used for the university admissions or entrance exams, is a document that outlines the total number of seats available in each participating institute, course, and category. It provides a complete overview of seat allocation and helps candidates understand the availability of courses or seats and plan their choices during the counseling process. 

The seat matrix includes information on

• Total number of seats available in the institute.
• Category-wise distribution of seats (e.g., general, reserved, etc.).
• The number of vacant seats after each round of counseling.
