What is IPU CET 2026 Phase 3 Seat Allotment
Phase 3 of IPU CET counselling is the Sliding Round. It is open to students who accepted a seat in Phase 1 or Phase 2 by choosing Float as well as students who have not yet received any allotment but remain eligible in the counselling pool. Students who chose Float in Phase 2 are automatically considered for a better preference in Phase 3 and do not need to register again.
In the Sliding Round a student can move to a higher-ranked branch within the same college without losing the existing seat. If a better option is not available the student retains the seat from the previous round. This makes Phase 3 a low-risk round for students who want to improve their allotment without starting over.

Seat Acceptance Options: Freeze, Float, Slide and Withdraw
After checking your Phase 3 allotment you must select one of four options within the acceptance window. Not responding within the deadline is treated as withdrawal and the allotted seat is cancelled automatically.
| Option | What It Means | Eligible for Next Round? |
|---|---|---|
| Freeze | Accept the allotted seat as final and exit all future rounds | No |
| Float | Keep the current seat and remain eligible for a better preference in the next round | Yes |
| Slide | Seek a better branch within the same allotted college; current seat is retained if no upgrade is available | Yes (same college only) |
| Withdraw | Cancel the allotted seat and exit counselling entirely | No |
Students choosing Freeze, Float or Slide must pay the Rs 40,000 part academic fee to confirm their seat. Students choosing Withdraw are not required to pay; however the seat is permanently forfeited and re-entry into the process is not permitted.

- Check the reporting date and time published on ipu.admissions.nic.in for Phase 3 allottees.
- Collect all original documents and prepare self-attested photocopies well in advance.
- Visit the admission office of your allotted college on the reporting day with your allotment letter as proof.
