This admission process does not involve a separate entrance examination, hence admit cards in the traditional sense are not issued. However, during the counselling process, candidates receive a counselling call letter or intimation through the online portal, which must be downloaded and printed. This call letter contains details of the counselling schedule, reporting time, venue (if physical counselling), and documents required for verification. Candidates should regularly check the official counselling website and their registered email/mobile for updates regarding counselling dates and any document submission requirements.

Results are announced in the form of merit lists published on the official counselling portal. The first merit list is typically released within 15-20 days after the application deadline, displaying rank-wise list of eligible candidates for each course category. Subsequent seat allotment results are published after each counselling round, showing the institution and course allotted to each candidate based on their merit rank and preferences. Candidates can check their allotment status by logging into the counselling portal using their registration credentials. Final admission confirmation is subject to document verification and fee payment at the allotted institution within the specified timeline.

Cutoff marks vary significantly based on the course (ANM/GNM/MPHW), category (General/SC/ST/BC), and type of institution (government/private). Typically, for government GNM colleges, General category cutoffs range from 65-85% in 10+2, while SC/ST cutoffs are around 50-65%. For ANM courses, cutoffs are generally lower, ranging from 50-70% for General category and 40-55% for reserved categories. MPHW cutoffs fall between ANM and GNM ranges. Private institutions usually have lower cutoffs compared to government colleges. The last rank admitted in previous years and opening-closing ranks are published after each counselling round, which candidates can use to estimate their chances of admission in specific institutions.

Since this is a counselling-based admission process without a physical examination, there are no traditional exam centres. However, document verification and physical counselling (if conducted offline) typically occur at designated centres across Haryana.
