After each CSAB special round allotment, candidates have to decide on the allotted seat. They need to select whether they want to freeze the allotted seat or they want to opt for better options. To do so, candidates can exercise the below available options after each CSAB special round allotment:

Freeze

Action: Choosing the option “Freeze” means that the candidate accepts the offered seat and indicates that the candidate is content with the allocated academic program and that the candidate does not want to participate in further rounds of seat allocation while retaining the same seat.

Outcome: Such candidates will NOT be considered in subsequent rounds of seat allocation, if any. Their chosen seat shall remain allocated to them and shall be provisionally confirmed.

Float

Action: Choosing the option “Float” means that the candidate accepts the offered seat and indicates that, if an academic program of higher preference in any Institute is offered in subsequent rounds of seat allocation, the candidate will accept it. Else, the candidate will continue with the currently accepted academic program.

Outcome: Such candidates will be considered in subsequent rounds of seat allocation, if any.

Slide

Action: Choosing the option “Slide” means that the candidate accepts the offered seat and indicates that, if an academic program of higher preference is offered within the same Institute in subsequent rounds of seat allocation, the candidate will accept it.

Outcome: Such candidates will be considered in subsequent rounds of seat allocation, if any.

Surrender

Action: Candidate REJECTS the allotted seat and wishes to participate in the next Round of seat allotment. Hence, the allotted seat will be cancelled.

The candidates who have already secured a seat by paying PAF at the end of JoSAA 2025 rounds and have participated in CSAB-Special seat allocation process 2025 can also exercise the ‘surrender’ option.

Withdraw

Action: Candidate REJECTS the allotted/accepted seat and does not wish to participate in subsequent rounds of seat allotment. Hence, the allotted/accepted seat will be cancelled irrespective of whether the seat was accepted during JoSAA rounds or it is allotted/accepted in CSAB-Special rounds.
