Option What It Means
Accept and Report Pay fee and report to the allotted college to confirm the seat. You can still try for upgradation in Round 2.
Seek Upgradation (Round 2) Retain your Round 1 seat and participate in Round 2 for a better college or course preference using your original option entries.
Cancel Allotment Cancel your allotment on the portal if you do not wish to pursue admission. Fee refund is subject to official APSCHE norms.
