Dear Student,
IPU counselling procedure:
To take part in counselling, you must first pay 1k rupees.
Fill out all of your college options, even if you think you'll receive a better school based on previous year's cutoffs. Just keep in mind to keep reputable colleges—or the college you want—at the top of the list.
If a college is assigned to you in the first round, you must pay IPU 40k rupees. If you don't, your seat won't be reserved. You won't find a seat at IPU if you believe you'll be accepted to a good college in later rounds but unknowingly aren't eligible for an upgrade. As a result, if you require a seat in IPU, don't take a chance and register yourself there by paying 40k.
So you won't have to worry about giving up your old place if you need to move to the spot round.
And in response to your query, you can definitely go for the spot round if you weren't given a seat in the first three rounds.
Additionally, there is a subsequent round that solely awards seats to students who were unsuccessful in obtaining an IPU seat.
