Freeze, Float & Exit Options in CLAT 2025 Counselling
Understanding the Freeze, Float, and Exit options in CLAT 2025 counselling is key to making the right decision for your future. Here's an overview of each option:
📌 Freeze:
If you choose the freeze option during the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd round of counselling, you are confirming your satisfaction with the seat allotted. By selecting this option, you secure your place at the NLU, and no further rounds of counselling will be needed.
To finalize your admission, you must pay the remaining university fee to the concerned NLU by 14 May 2025. This decision is final, indicating that you're content with your current seat allocation.
📌 Float:
The float option allows you to hold onto your current seat while keeping the possibility open for a better seat in the upcoming rounds. If you opt for this choice, your existing seat will be retained, but you will remain in the pool for future seat allotments.
If offered a better seat in the next round, you will automatically lose your previous seat and take the new one. If no better seat is allotted, you will retain your current seat.
📌 Exit:
Choosing the exit option means withdrawing completely from the counselling process. If you decide not to participate in any further rounds, this option will ensure your name is not considered in future allotments.
This is a final decision, and once you exit, you cannot re-enter the counselling process.
These options give you the flexibility to make the best choice based on your preferences and future opportunities during the CLAT 2025 counselling process.
