• Float: Candidates accept the offered seat and indicate that, if admission to an academic program of better/higher preference in any Institute is offered, they will accept it. Else, they will continue with the currently accepted academic program. Such candidates will be considered in subsequent rounds of admission.
• Slide: Candidates accept the offered seat and indicate that, if admission to an academic program of better/higher preference is offered within the same Institute, they will accept it. Such candidates will be considered in subsequent rounds of admission.
• For candidates who choose the float or slide option, allocation of a seat in an academic program of his/her higher preference would automatically result in the forfeiture of the seat accepted by the candidate in the earlier round. (Candidates are advised to keep their log-in credential, i.e., login Id and password, strictly confidential to avoid any misuse).
• Slide and float options will be available to only those candidates who are NOT offered admission to their first choice.

In such cases, the candidate must report again online for accepting the freshly allocated seat (with a new undertaking for choosing float or slide or freeze).

After the last Round of JOSAA 2022 the remaining seats that are left vacant in the NITs, IIITs and GFTIs will be declared by JOSAA and admissions into the same will be conducted by the CSAB or Central Seat Allocation Board in two special Rounds based upon the JEE Main 2022 Rank.
