Brief Description of Seat Confirmation Options:

Accept and Freeze: By selecting this option, the candidate will accept the available offers and not be interested in upgrading the high preferences. This option will stop the applicant not to appear for the other admission rounds. Once this option is selected, click the submit button and confirm the submission. After this, the candidate can visit the respective Academic Institute’s Admission Portal and follow the process mentioned on the official website of the institute.

Retain and Wait: By choosing this option, the candidate has partially accepted the available offers and can upgrade for the higher preferences in the further rounds. Once this option is selected, then there will be hardly any need for rejecting the further rounds. By any chance, if a candidate makes any higher preferred choice in the next round of counselling then the existing ‘Retain and Wait’ will be canceled. Applicants can choose the “Retain and Wait” option only twice (same institute and same program).

Reject and Wait: By selecting this option, the candidate is unwilling to accept any of the offers for admission in the current round. In the next rounds, an applicant can look for various other higher preferences. Make sure to click the Submit button, to confirm your choice.
