Understanding Freeze, Betterment, and Auto-Freeze
After checking the result, candidates allotted a seat in Round 2 must choose one of the following options in their login:
| Option | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Auto-Freeze | Applied automatically if a candidate gets their first preference. The seat is locked, and the candidate cannot participate in Round 3 onward. |
| Self-Freeze | For candidates satisfied with a lower preference allotment. They must manually select Freeze, pay the seat acceptance fee, and report to the institute to confirm admission and exit CAP. |
| Betterment (Not Freeze/ Float) | For candidates who want a chance at a higher preference in Round 3. The current seat is held provisionally; if a better option isn't allotted next round, the Round 2 seat is retained automatically. |
Candidates who confirm their seat via Freeze will not be permitted to participate in subsequent CAP rounds.
