After the seat allotment result is released, a candidate has to accept the seat online by choosing any of the options - freeze, float, slide, for the academic program they want. However, it must be noted that these options will be available to only those who don't get admission in their first choice
Freeze: When a candidate chooses this option, it means they have accepted the seat allotted to them. This would also signify that the candidate is happy with the seat allotted and would not participate in further rounds of counselling.
Float: When a candidate chooses this option, this means that they are accepting the seat offered to them. However, if a seat is available in an academic program of higher preference, the candidate will accept it. This would signify that candidates are available to participate in subsequent rounds of counselling.
Slide: When a candidate accepts this option, it means that they are accepting the seat allocated to them. However, if admission to an academic program of higher preference is available within the 'same institute', the candidate will accept it. These candidates will also be considered for subsequent rounds of counselling.
During the seat allotment period of a particular round of seat allocation, if there is a change in the credentials of a candidate due to failure in producing valid certificate of category GEN EWS/OBCNCL/PwD/DS/OCI/PIO/state code of eligibility or declaration of gender and the allotted seat gets cancelled then the candidate will be considered for seat allocation in subsequent round(s) as per the updated credentials. 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).
Candidates must note that after they check their results and in the event of getting a seat, they must proceed with fee payment, document verification and online reporting. It should be done from October 27 to 30, 2021.
