JEE Result is out and my son has got 140000 rank with Delhi as home state in general category. He is interested only in CS. From the last year data, it appears that he will get Bharti Vidyapeeth in second or third round though he is more interested in MSIT CS. My question is, if we freeze the Bharti Vidyapeeth in third round and pay the fee, is my son still eligible for spot round 1 and 2 to try for MSIT ? We want to make sure that there is no impact on the allocated seat in the third round. Briefly, don't want to take risk of losing the allocated seat. Please suggest if it is possible?

Hello there,

If your son freezes the Bharti Vidyapeeth seat in the third round and pays the fee , it locks the seat and essentially means that he accepts the offer from that college.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. JOSAA Freeze Option : Once you choose to "freeze" a seat and pay the fee, you are not eligible for further rounds of counseling, including spot rounds . This is because freezing signifies that you are satisfied with the allocated seat, and you're accepting it, preventing participation in further rounds.
   
   

To ensure eligibility for MSIT and also keep Bharti Vidyapeeth as a backup, I would recommend not freezing the seat in the third round. Opt for the float option if possible and keep exploring through the next rounds, including the spot rounds . This will allow your son to try for MSIT while securing a seat at Bharti Vidyapeeth as a backup.

If you do freeze and pay the fee, you will lose eligibility for the spot rounds, so weigh the options carefully.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
