• Float: Candidates choosing Float will accept the current seat while remaining eligible for an upgrade to a higher preferred choice in Special Round 2. If no better seat is allotted, the current seat will remain with the candidate.
• Slide: Under the Slide option, candidates can be considered for a better programme within the same institute, provided a higher preferred branch becomes available in the next round.

• Withdraw: Cancel the allotted or accepted seat. The candidate completely opts out of the remaining counselling process.
