X-603Avoiding troubleReviewed 2026

Can anyone guarantee me a seat?

Short answer

Only the institution, and only where admission is on marks. Nobody can guarantee a seat that a statutory counselling process controls.

Where admission is on qualifying marks, a seat is straightforward and no intermediary is needed to secure it. Where counselling governs the seat — medical admission being the clearest case — no guarantee is deliverable.

An offer to deliver what cannot be delivered is the definition of the problem.

What to check

  • Ask what specifically the guarantee covers and who is giving it.
