Understanding the Choice Options
In Round 3, candidates can only make one choice: to accept and freeze their seat. This means you must accept the seat offered, pay the required fee, download your admission order, and report to the college. If you go ahead with this option, you will exit the counselling process completely. Choices 2 and 3 are not available in this round, as the focus is solely on finalising seats for candidates who have not yet secured admission.
| Choice | What It Means | Available in Round 3? |
|---|---|---|
| Choice 1 - Accept & Freeze | Accept the allotted seat, pay the fee, download the admission order, and report to the college. You exit the counselling process after this. | Yes |
| Choice 2 - Accept & Upgrade | Retain the current seat while remaining eligible for a better seat in a future round | No |
| Choice 3 - Reject & Upgrade | Give up the current seat entirely to try for a different one | No |
