Hi,

See, partial admission fee is different from seat acceptance fee. In 1st round during JoSAA counselling, suppose you are allotted a seat in a branch in some institution, and you want to choose float (upgrade it) and go for the next round - then also you will have to accept this seat first by paying the Seat Acceptance Fee. Then only you will move on to next round.

Now, by any chance if you want to retain this seat which was alotted to you (freeze it) that means, take admission in that college and not go for the next round - then only you will have to pay the Partial Admission Fee.

Hope that was helpful.
