What is Freeze, Slide, and Float in SAMS Odisha Plus 3 Admission 2026?
Once the allotment is released, every candidate must choose one of three options between June 22 (3:00 PM) and June 25 (4:00 PM). Understanding what each option means is essential before making the selection.
Freeze
Choose Freeze if you are fully satisfied with the allotted college and subject. Selecting this option locks your seat permanently. You will not be eligible for upgrades in subsequent rounds.
Float
Select Float if you accept your current allotted seat but also wish to be considered for a higher-preferred college from your CAF list in the Round 2 allotment. If a better college becomes available, the system automatically upgrades you and releases your current seat to the next candidate on the merit list.
Slide
Choose Slide if you want to retain your current allotted college but want to move to a better-preferred subject within the same institution in a future round. The upgrade is limited to preferences within the same college only.
Important: If a candidate gets upgraded via Float or Slide in Round 2, the earlier seat is instantly and permanently reassigned to another applicant. There is no going back.
SAMS Odisha Plus 3 Allotment 2026 - Documents Required for Physical Reporting
After completing the online option selection and fee payment, candidates must physically visit their allotted college between June 23 and June 25, 2026, before 5:00 PM. The following original documents are mandatory for verification:
- Printed copy of the filled Common Application Form (CAF)
- SAMS-issued Undergraduate Intimation Letter (downloaded after fee payment)
- Class 10 Marksheet and Pass Certificate
- Class 12 Marksheet and Pass Certificate
- School/College Leaving Certificate (CLC) and Conduct Certificate
- Category/Reservation Certificates (SC, ST, PwD, Ex-Servicemen) - if applicable
- NCC, NSS, or Rovers & Rangers certificates - if weightage was claimed
- Valid UDID Card or District Medical Board Certificate - for PwD category candidates
Fee Payment Guidelines for SAMS Odisha Plus 3 Round 1 Admission 2026
The online admission fee payment portal opens on June 22, 2026 at 3:00 PM, simultaneously with the option selection window, and remains open until June 25, 2026 at 4:00 PM. Candidates should follow these important financial guidelines:
- Always use a stable internet connection; avoid public or open Wi-Fi networks during fee transactions
- Ensure net banking, UPI, or debit card accounts have sufficient daily transaction limits to cover the full first-semester fee in one attempt
- Do not refresh the payment page while processing is in progress to avoid double-debit errors
- If the fee is deducted but no Intimation Letter is generated, check the payment history log on the SAMS dashboard before attempting any second transaction
- For candidates who later upgrade via Float/Slide in Round 2, fees paid in Round 1 are automatically transferred to the new institution. Only the differential amount needs to be paid if the new college has a higher fee structure. Excess fees are refunded after the admission cycle closes.
SAMS Odisha Plus 3 Expected Cutoffs 2026 - Round 1 General Category Trends

SAMS Odisha Plus 3 Allotment 2026 - AEDP Course Changes and NEP 2020 Impact
This section is important for candidates who applied for Apprenticeship Embedded Degree Programme (AEDP) subjects or are enrolling under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 framework.
AEDP to Non-AEDP Conversion:
The Higher Education Department recently confirmed that certain institutions have converted their AEDP curriculum tracks into regular non-AEDP formats. The centralized tech team has completed a full backend database audit to re-map all affected choices. If a candidate's chosen course was converted and they could not update their CAF before the deadline, their earlier preference will be automatically treated under the "Single Major" category. Minor subjects will be dynamically assigned post-admission based on merit and availability.
NEP 2020 Academic Structure:
Admissions for 2026-27 strictly follow the NEP 2020 framework. Students will enroll under one of the following academic structures:
- Single Major with Two Minors
- Double Major
- Three Minor subject combination
Specific minor subject allocations are finalized at the institutional level after admission is confirmed.
SAMS Odisha Plus 3 Allotment 2026 - Important Rules and Penalties
Candidates must be aware of critical rules that apply to the first allotment round to avoid losing their seat:
- Mandatory Freeze if First Preference is Allotted: If a candidate receives their absolute first-preference college and subject in Round 1, they must compulsorily Freeze, pay the fee, and report physically. Failure to do so will result in permanent deletion from the SAMS database for 2026-27, disqualifying the candidate from all subsequent regular rounds and spot admissions.
- PwD Certificate Verification: PwD candidates must present a valid UDID card or District Medical Board certificate showing a minimum 40% physical impairment. Temporary or invalid certificates will result in cancellation of allotment.
- NCC/NSS/Weightage Verification: Original and valid national/state-level credentials must be produced. Invalid weightage claims will lead to cancellation, and the candidate will be reconsidered under the general unreserved pool.
- Data Mismatch: Any discrepancy between marks entered in the CAF and original board certificates during verification will result in immediate forfeiture of the seat.
