Post-Allotment Instructions: Freeze vs Betterment Rules
After checking the Round 2 provisional allotment, candidates must select one of the following options between August 13 and August 17, 2026:
1. Auto-Freeze (First Preference Allotment)
- If a candidate is allotted a seat as per their First Preference (Preference 1), the allotment is auto-frozen by default.
- Such candidates cannot participate in subsequent CAP rounds (Round 3 or Round 4).
- The candidate must pay the online seat acceptance fee and physically report to the allotted institute to confirm admission.
2. Freeze (Self-Selection)
- Candidates allotted a seat other than their Preference 1, but satisfied with the assigned college, can manually choose to "Freeze" the seat.
- Once frozen, the candidate must pay the seat acceptance fee online and report physically to the college before 5:00 PM on August 17, 2026.
3. Not-Freeze / Betterment (Seeking Round 3 Improvement)
- Candidates allotted a seat other than Preference 1 who wish to try for a better college in CAP Round 3 must select "Not-Freeze / Betterment."
- To retain the Round 2 seat while competing in Round 3, the online seat acceptance fee must still be paid.
- If a new seat is allotted in Round 3, the Round 2 seat is automatically cancelled.
Important Instructions for Candidates
- Do not rely on screenshots, messages, or social media posts claiming allotment status - verify only through the official candidate portal.
- Complete seat acceptance and fee payment as early as possible within the window to avoid last-minute technical issues or payment failures.
- Retain transaction receipts, confirmation pages, and the downloaded allotment order for future reference.
- Candidates who do not receive a seat in Round 2 may still have options in subsequent CAP rounds or institute-level admissions, as per the official schedule.
- Keep monitoring the official CET Cell website, as dates and instructions may be updated through revised notices.
