How to 'Accept and Freeze' Offers Given Through GATE COAP Round 1 Counselling?
Candidates should select the "Accept and Freeze" option if they are satisfied with one of the available offers and do not wish to be considered for any further offers from other participating institutes or PSUs. Once this option is selected, they will no longer be eligible for subsequent rounds of admission or job offers.
After choosing "Accept and Freeze," they have to confirm their decision by clicking the 'OK' button. They should then visit the admission portal of the respective academic institute or the job portal of the PSU and complete the required procedures as per the instructions provided on the official website.
