Hello,

Float option is chosen by a candidate if the candidate accepts the seat that has been allotted to then but want a higher preference seat in the subsequent rounds of counselling. The float option ensures that if you get your higher preference seat in further rounds, you will accept that and your previously allotted seat will get cancelled and if you do not get a higher preference seat then in that case your previously allotted seat remains with you. You needn't fill the already allotted seat for 3rd round because for the third round of allotment you are looking for higher preference seat which will be in the order that you filled out your choices. Your already allotted seat wont get cancelled if you do not get a higher preference seat in subsequent rounds.

Hope this answers your query.
