Seat Acceptance Options: Freeze, Float, and Slide

After viewing your Iteration 1 allotment, you must choose one of four options. Your choice determines whether you participate in further iterations and which seat you ultimately receive.

Option What It Means Eligible for Next Iteration?
Freeze Accept the current allotment as your final seat. No further iterations apply to you. No
Float Accept the current seat but remain in the pool for a higher-preference programme or campus in the next iteration. Yes
Slide Accept the current campus but want to upgrade to a higher-preference programme at the same campus in the next iteration. Yes
Reject Decline the allotted seat entirely. You will not be considered for any further iteration. No

Students who choose Float or Slide must still pay the admission fee for Iteration 1. If a better seat is allotted in Iteration 2, the fee is adjusted accordingly. Once you Freeze, your admission is confirmed and no changes to campus or programme are possible.

Ques. What is the difference between Freeze and Float in BITSAT seat allotment?

Ans. Freeze means you accept the allotted seat as your final confirmed seat and will not participate in further iterations. Float means you accept the current seat but wish to be considered for a higher-preference choice in Iteration 2. In both cases, paying the admission fee is mandatory.

Ques. Can I switch campuses after accepting a seat in Iteration 1?

Ans. Yes, if you choose Float in Iteration 1, BITS Pilani will try to allot you a higher-preference programme or campus in Iteration 2. However, once you Freeze your seat, the campus and programme cannot be changed under any circumstances.
