CLAT Counselling 2026: Freeze, Float, and Exit option
During the counseling phase, a candidate selected for admission to any NLU has three choices: "freeze," "float," or "exit."
Freeze: Candidates can choose to "freeze" their seat assignment, accept it, and forego participating in subsequent seat allocation rounds if they are dissatisfied with it.
Float: After being allocated to their first preferred NLU, a candidate may use the "float" option to "open" the door to a higher choice NLU seat.
Exit option: If an applicant decides not to participate in admissions counselling after completing the registration procedure, they can "exit" the process.
