CAT 2019 Slot 1 DILR: University Admission Rounds

A university admits students to three programmes — Economics, History and Physics — each with exactly 2 seats. Eight applicants, listed below in order of merit rank (Rank 1 is the best), have each listed the programmes they are willing to join, in order of preference. An applicant will never be allotted a programme not on his or her list.

| Rank | Applicant | Preferences (most preferred first) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anu | Physics, Economics |
| 2 | Bala | Economics, Physics, History |
| 3 | Chitra | Physics, History |
| 4 | Dev | Economics, History |
| 5 | Esha | Physics, Economics, History |
| 6 | Farid | History, Economics |
| 7 | Gita | Economics, Physics, History |
| 8 | Hari | Physics, History, Economics |

Allotment is done in rounds. In every round, all seats are allotted afresh: the applicants still in the process are considered one by one in order of rank, and each is allotted the most preferred programme on his or her list that still has a vacant seat in that round (if none, the applicant gets no seat in that round).

- After Round 1, Anu and Dev withdraw from the process.
- After Round 2, Chitra withdraws from the process.
- Round 3 is the final round.
