The Order of Filling Orbitals
The aufbau principle explains how electrons fill low energy orbitals (closer to the nucleus) before they fill higher energy ones. Where there is a choice between orbitals of equal energy, they fill the orbitals singly as far as possible (Hunds rules). The diagram (not to scale) summarizes the energies of the orbitals up to the 4p level.
The oddity is the position of the 3d orbitals, which are shown at a slightly higher level than the 4s. This means that the 4s orbital which will fill first, followed by all the 3d orbitals and then the 4p orbitals. Similar confusion occurs at higher levels, with so much overlap between the energy levels that the 4f orbitals do not fill until after the 6s, for example.
Everything is straightforward up to this point, but the 3-level orbitals are not all full - the 3d levels have not been used yet. But if you refer back to the energies of the orbitals, you will see that the next lowest energy orbital is the 4s - so that fills first.

As per Aufbau principle, electron enters into the orbital whose (n + l) value is less. The (n + l) values for 4a and 3d are
4s = 4 + 0 = 4
3d = 3 + 2 = 5
Here the (n + l) value of 4s < 3d. Hence electron enters into 4s orbital after filling '3p' instead of '3d'
