What Are the Seat Acceptance Options?

Every allotted candidate must select one of four options. Each option decides the candidate's role in Round 2. The choice is binding once the deadline passes.

Option	What It Means
Self Freeze	Candidate confirms the seat and exits further CAP rounds.
Auto Freeze	System freezes the seat if no action is taken by the deadline.
Float	Current seat is held. Any institute or branch upgrade is considered in Round 2.
Slide	Institute stays fixed. A different branch may be allotted in Round 2.

How to Pay the Seat Acceptance Fee?

The Rs 1,000 fee is paid online through the candidate portal. Accepted payment modes include debit card, credit card, net banking, and UPI. Save the transaction receipt for the institute reporting step.

How to Report to the Allotted Institute?

Candidates choosing the freeze option must report to the college in person. The reporting window runs from August 5 to 7, 2026. Carry all originals and the balance college fee on the reporting day.

Required documents include the CAP allotment letter and DSE 2026 scorecard. Also carry the diploma marksheets and class 10 marksheet. Bring category certificates if applicable and a valid photo ID. Institutes may reject admission if any original is missing.

What Happens Next for Unallotted Candidates?

Candidates who did not get any allotment can participate in Round 2. The vacant seat matrix will be displayed on August 8, 2026. A fresh option form window will open for eligible candidates soon after. The Round 2 allotment result is scheduled for August 14, 2026.

Why This Matters

Missing the August 7 deadline cancels the allotted seat. The seat also becomes ineligible for future CAP round consideration. Timely acceptance protects the current seat and any Round 2 upgrade chance.
