Hii
Floating & Sliding are both different from each other.
Floating : Candidates accept the offered seat but also indicate that if admissions are open in a better/higher preferred institute or course, then they will accept it.
Sliding : The candidates accept the allotted seat by indicating that if admissions are open in a better course/branch in the same institute then they will take it.
Still have any doubt feel free to reply back.
All the best.
