After the CSAB Round 1 allotment result is announced, candidates must complete the online reporting process between August 6 and 10. Along with document verification and fee payment, candidates will also have to submit their willingness option.

CSAB 2026 Willingness Options Explained

Candidates allotted a seat in Special Round 1 will have to choose one of the following willingness options:

• Freeze: Candidates satisfied with the allotted institute and branch can select the Freeze option. This confirms the seat, and the candidate will not be considered for any further upgradation in the next special round.
• 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.
• Surrender: Reject the current seat but stay in the counselling process to try for a better seat in the next round. (Not allowed in the last round).
• Withdraw: Cancel the allotted or accepted seat. The candidate completely opts out of the remaining counselling process.
• Exit: Only available if a candidate did not get any seat in the CSAB rounds and holds no other seat in the JoSAA/NIT+ system. This means a candidate does not wish to participate further.

Candidates are advised to select the willingness option carefully, as it directly affects their participation in the subsequent round of counselling. Also, candidates must complete:

• Payment of Institute Admission Fee-II (IAF-II)
• Document Upload
• Responding to queries (if any) of the Document Verifying Officer
