MDC allotment software for Multidisciplinary Course allocation

MDC allotment is the process of assigning students to Multidisciplinary Courses under the NEP-2020 Four-Year Undergraduate Programme. MDC courses carry three credits each, typically totalling nine credits across the first three semesters, and each student must take them outside their Major discipline. Because each course has a limited number of seats and students choose from a pool, allotment is a capacity-constrained allocation problem.

The crash is a symptom of first-come-first-served, not of an undersized server. When the outcome depends on submitting first, every student loads the portal in the same sixty seconds. Move allocation to after the window closes — as Allotix does — and the incentive to stampede disappears, because a preference submitted on the last day is treated identically to one submitted on the first.

Shared capacity pools are already part of the allocation engine, which is the core of what cluster-college MDC requires: students from one college competing for seats offered by another, against a shared seat matrix. Talk to us about your cluster's structure and we will walk through how it maps onto an Allotix event.

Students are processed in CGPA order. For each student, the engine walks their ranked list from the top and allots the first course that they are eligible for and that still has a free seat. This is transparent, defensible, and produces a distribution report showing exactly how many students received their first, second or third choice.
