During an allotment process having vacancies in the quotas for two or more categories and where applicants from all or two of the categories are present, then the procedure for allotment will be as follows:

• First, make individual Seniority Lists of the applicants under each category (Faculty/ A1/A2).

• Then, among the persons on top of each of the lists, identify the senior-most one in terms of the Date of Eligibility, allot his/her first choice, provided quota exists in the category in which s/he belongs, and go to step c. Otherwise, repeat this process for the other two persons in the order of Date of Eligibility, depending on the availability of the quota, and then go to step c.

• For the remaining houses, repeat step b for the next senior-most person across the lists, and allot the best choice available to him/her.

• Repeat step c till all the available houses get exhausted (read with clause e below).

• In a particular round of allotment, in case of paucity of eligible candidates in one or more categories, the quota for other categories can be temporarily exceeded, which should be adjusted in subsequent rounds of allotments.

Also, while floating the houses, the information regarding the complete vacancy situation of houses under each category should be explicitly stated.
