Hi Admit, At the beginning of the counselling procedure, you will have to fill a list of branches in the order of preference. In round, you will be given a seat in the first vacant branch (according to your CET rank) starting from the top. Now, you can either freeze the selection or wait for round 2. As the admission process moves forward some students from higher branches may leave their seat. This is where internal sliding comes in. If there are enough vacant seats in the branch above your alloted branch, you will be alloted that branch. This goes on till round 3. In round 3, you have to freeze your choice or you lose the chance to get any seat in IPU. Personal Advice : Don't do it, wait for spot counselling (explained later). If you freeze your seat at any point, that's it you will be studying in that college in that branch. If however you didn't freeze the selection, you are now proceeded to spot counselling. This is where the last of the seats are filled. There is no internal sliding after round 3 so if someone from better branch leaves, you will not be promoted. Spot counselling is pretty self explanatory you go in take a branch, submit a slightly higher university fees and come out. Explanation
If you are a student wanting to get admission in IPU, always wait for the spot counselling. NEVER freeze your selection before that. Trust me, a lot of people leave even after round 3 and you can easily get a seat much the highest in your preference order. Example : I am a BVP student who just completed first year here in CSE Department. My rank was in the late 2900-early 3000s (Delhi). People with a rank of 8k got admission in the same class with the same category. Also as far as I know, USICT was available to people with 5K rank just because of spot counselling. So, never freeze your choice before spot counselling. If you have any other queries (besides which branch will I get) comment and I will try my best to answer it. All the best.
