Can I do slide to float option ?
There is no such procedure to convert slide to float for a particular round. If you really want to change form slide to float then directly contact JOSSA before its too late. Only they can help you in this matter. You can their contact details in their official website.
Hello.
Is this answer still relevant and up to date? Once JoSAA allocates a seat, you can select either (Freeze/ Float / Slide ) of the options . But to do so you have to report at any of the reporting centre, sign an undertaking, and exercise the desired (Freeze/ Float / Slide ) option .
(A) Freeze: Candidates accept the offered seat and indicate that they are content with the allocated academic program and that they do not want to participate in further rounds of seat allocation. Such candidates will NOT be considered in subsequent rounds of admission.
(B) Float: Candidates accept the offered seat and indicate that, if admission to an academic program of better/higher preference in any Institute is offered, they will accept it. Else, they will continue with the currently accepted academic program. Such candidates will be considered in subsequent rounds of admission.
(C) Slide: Candidates accept the offered seat and indicate that, if admission to an academic program of better / higher preference is offered within the same Institute, they will accept it. Such candidates will be considered in subsequent rounds of admission.
(D) For candidates who choose the float or slide option, allocation of a seat in an academic program of his/her higher preference would automatically result in the forfeiture of the seat accepted by the candidate in the earlier round.
Slide and float options will be available to only those candidates who are NOT offered admission to their first choice.
Slide and float options are NOT available in the last round of seat acceptance.
Except in the last round of seat allocation, a candidate can change from float to slide/freeze and slide to freeze by reporting at a reporting center.
Hope this is helpful.
Good luck.
