Understanding Freeze and Float Options
Candidates who received a seat allotment in Round 2 must choose between two options:
- Freeze Option: This choice is for candidates satisfied with their allocated institute and course. Selecting this option requires them to visit their district's help center for document verification.
- Float Option: Candidates who wish to keep their current seat but are looking for better options in future rounds select this option. They can participate in subsequent counseling rounds.
