Seat Acceptance Rules: Auto-Freeze, Betterment & Status Retention
Upon reviewing their allotment status tomorrow, candidates must select the appropriate admission pathway:
- Mandatory Auto-Freeze on Preference #1: Candidates allotted their first preference institute are automatically frozen by the system. Such candidates must physically report to the college, pay the required tuition fees, and complete document verification before September 20 (5:30 PM). Failure to join results in complete disqualification from subsequent regular CAP rounds.
- Betterment Option (Preferences 2 to 300): Candidates allotted choices other than their first preference who wish to try for higher college preferences in CAP Round 2 must opt for 'Betterment'. This preserves their Round 1 seat while allowing them to participate in Round 2. If upgraded in Round 2, the Round 1 seat is cancelled automatically.
- Status Retention (Preferences 2 to 300): Candidates completely satisfied with their allotted seat who do not wish to participate in subsequent rounds can submit the official 'Status Retention Form' to the college principal during reporting to freeze their admission permanently.
- Non-Reporting Penalty: Candidates who fail to report physically to their allotted college with original certificates by September 20 will forfeit their allotted seat.
