In NEET UG counselling, the indicative seat allotment refers to a provisional list of seats that may be available at various medical and dental colleges for a given round of counselling. This list is used to give candidates an idea of the types of colleges and the number of seats that might be available based on their rank and category.

Here’s a bit more detail about how it works:

1. Purpose: The indicative seat allotment is meant to help candidates understand their chances of getting a seat in different colleges and to assist them in making informed choices during the counselling process.

2. Availability: This list is usually published before the actual seat allotment results are declared. It is based on previous years' data and current year’s seat availability.

3. Not Final: It’s important to note that the indicative seat allotment is not the final seat allotment list. The final allotment may differ based on the actual number of seats, the number of candidates, their ranks, and their choices during the counselling process.

4. Counselling Rounds: The indicative seat allotment may be released for various rounds of counselling, including the first round, second round, and mop-up round, if applicable.

Candidates should use the indicative seat allotment to strategize their preferences and prepare for the counselling process, but they should also stay updated with official announcements from the counselling authorities for the most accurate and final information.
