If the students choose to 'freeze' the IIT or NIT seat then they will not be allowed to make any changes in the following seat allocation rounds, however, if they wish to keep their options open for an upgrade they need to select the 'floating' option. If the students want an course upgrade at the same institute where they were allotted the seat, they will have to choose the sliding option.
