Step 1: Seat confirmation
Candidates must accept the allocated seat and choose one of the following options: ‘Freeze’, ‘Slide’, or ‘Float' for their academic program in any subsequent rounds of JoSAA seat allocation:
- Freeze: A candidate selecting "Freeze" means that they are happy with the allotted seat and do not want to take part in any more JoSAA counselling rounds. These candidates will not be considered in any further JoSAA counselling rounds.
- Float: The candidate who selects "Float", will indicate that they accept the seat; however, they would like to participate in further JoSAA counselling rounds. They would like to be considered for a better course from their choice list in any college. These candidates will be considered in the upcoming JoSAA rounds.
- Slide: Candidates who select "Slide" will also be considered in further counselling rounds. These candidates will be considered for better course preference from their choice list, but in the same institution as allotted.
For example: Your choice list is:
- IIT Bombay CSE
- IIT Delhi CSE
- IIT Bombay EE
- IIT Delhi EE
And, you are currently allotted Choice #4: IIT Delhi EE. The you can:
Freeze
- Action: You accept IIT Delhi EE and want nothing else.
- Result: You exit counselling. Your seat is completely locked.
Float

To be able to proceed with the JoSAA counselling process, candidates have to pay the seat acceptance fee. The seat acceptance fee is to be paid in all the cases - whether the candidate choose to float, freeze or slide their seat. The seat acceptance fee is to be paid after the first allotment of seat. If the fee is not paid the candidates get eliminated from the counselling process.

Army Institute of Technology does not participate in the standard JoSAA or CSAB center rounds for its BE course. The institute runs its own independent counseling portal to manage applications. Students must track notifications directly on the college website instead of central engineering portals.
