Hi,

No, you will not loose your seat.

if you opt for the float or slide options your seat allocated in the academic program will continue and you also will be considered for further rounds.

However if you get allocated any of the higher preference seat in further round your earlier seat will get cancelled automatically.

Hope it helps.

Hello Aspirant,

See if you got your fourth preference in 1st round of JOSAA counselling then you can choose float option to upgrade your preferred branch and this branch will be kept reserved for you and also note that if you want to upgrade only branch and institution is same then you should go for Slide option.

For more details you can check out the link given below :-

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!!
