What Happens After CAP Round 1?

After the announcement of CAP Round 1 seat allotment, candidates can choose to  freeze (accepting the current allotted college and branch and exiting the counseling process), float (accepting the current allotted seat but being open to higher preference college or branch in later rounds) or slide (accepting the allotted college but being open to better branch within the same college) their allotted seat. Some branches notice a slight drop in their cutoffs in the later rounds due to seat movement. Whereas, highly preferred branches like CSE usually have very competitive closing ranks even during the later rounds.
