4. Mr. T. Singhdev, Advocate, who appears on advance notice for respondent no.1, submits that even though the petitioner may have been entitled to an increase of her score and a consequential improvement in her rank in the State Quota, the notification dated 05.04.2018, on which the petitioner places reliance, in itself makes it clear that, the candidates who accept the seat in the second round of allotment of the All India Quota seats, were not eligible to take part in any further rounds of counseling. He, thus, contends that in view of the admitted position that the Petitioner had, on 22.04.2018, taken admission in the course allotted to her in the second round of allotment of All India Quota, she was not at all eligible to be considered for allotment of any seat in the State Quota. He further submits that even otherwise it was always open to the petitioner to approach the State of Kerala before accepting the seat allotted to her in the second round of allotment of All India Quota seats, as admittedly the order dated 12.04.2018 on which she places reliance, was issued much before the petitioner had accepted the seat and taken admission in the All India Quota.

5. Mr. G. Prakash, Advocate, who appears for the State of Kerala for respondent Nos.3 and 4 also supports the plea taken by Mr. T. Singhdev and submits that the order dated 12.04.2018 issued by the Government of Kerala also made it clear that the candidates who joined the PG course in the second round of allotment of the All India Quota seats, would not be eligible for further counseling. He thus contends that the petitioner, having willingly accepted the seat in the second round of allotment of the All India Quota, is not entitled to any benefit under the said Government order.
