Freeze: Choosing "freeze" means the candidate are 100% satisfied with the college and the branch they have been given. Furthermore, they do not want to participate in any upcoming rounds of counselling.
Float: Selecting "float" will mean accepting the allotted current seat, but the candidate wants to check if they can get a better choice in future rounds. This "better choice" can be any higher preference from the preference list that candidates had locked in the choice filling process.
Slide: Choosing the option "slide" will indicate that the candidate accepts the current seat, but they only want a branch upgrade within the same college. Means, the candidate likes the college allotted, but wants a better course from their preference list in the same college.
