CLAT Counselling 2026: Freeze, Float, and Exit option
During the counselling rounds, a candidate who will be assigned a seat at any NLU may choose to "freeze," "float," or "exit."
Freeze option: Candidates can "freeze" the seat allocation if they are unhappy with their assigned seat, accept it, and have no interest in taking part in additional rounds of seat distribution.
Float option: Candidates may select the "float" option if they have been assigned their first preference NLU and would like to "open" the chance of receiving a higher preference NLU seat.
Exit option: A candidate has the option to "exit" the admissions counselling process if, at any point after completing the registration process, they decide not to take part in the counselling.
