Those who accepted and joined a Round 1 seat cannot take part in Round 2. Candidates who declined and quit are also out. The rest can fill fresh choices before the window closes.
What Are the Upward Movement Options?
Round 1 candidates had multiple confirmation options after their allotment. The upward options let students hold or drop a seat for a better one.
- Accept and Upward: Keep the allotted seat but wait for a higher preferred choice.
- Decline and Upward: Give up the allotted seat and wait for a better option.
- Decline and Move to Next Round: Reject the current seat and try again in Round 2.
- Upward Movement: Meant for those who did not get any seat in Round 1.
