- Float: If a student is satisfied with their assigned seat but wants to upgrade to a better seat in a later round, they can use the float option. In this way, they can preserve their existing seat while remaining open to an upgrade.
- Freeze: If a student is happy with their assigned seat and does not want to engage in any rounds of counselling, they can select the freeze option. This indicates that they accept the seat and confirm their acceptance of the present choice.
- Slide: If a student is satisfied with their assigned seat but wants to upgrade to a different program (while remaining at the same institute), they can select the slide option.
- Withdrawal: If a student decides not to continue with their allotted seat after accepting it, they can withdraw it by reporting to the assigned institute before the final round of seat allocation begins.
