• Specific branch/course that has been allotted.
• The category and reservation quota under which the seat was allocated.

Basis of CAP Round 1 Seat Allotment

The seat allotment for CAP Round 1 is determined by several factors to ensure a fair and transparent process:

• The candidate's final merit rank in the DSE examination.
• The preferences (choices) for institutes and branches submitted by the candidate during the application process.
• All applicable reservation rules and policies.
• The overall availability of seats in the chosen institutes and specific engineering branches.

Important Dates and Deadlines

Candidates must adhere to the following deadlines to complete their admission process:

• Result Release Date: August 3, 2026
• Seat Acceptance Fee Payment: Candidates must pay the non-refundable seat acceptance fee of Rs 1,000 online on or before August 7, 2026, by 3 PM.
• Institute Reporting: For candidates who choose the "Freeze" option, reporting to the allotted institute with all original documents is mandatory between August 5 to August 7, 2026, until 5 PM.

Understanding Freeze, Float, and Slide Options

After viewing the provisional seat allotment, candidates have three options to choose from:

• Freeze: If you are satisfied with your allotted seat and do not wish to participate in subsequent CAP rounds, you can choose "Freeze." This locks your seat permanently, and you must report to the allotted institute within the specified dates.
• Float: If you accept the current seat but wish to be considered for an upgrade to a higher preferred institute or branch in future CAP rounds, you can choose "Float." Your current seat remains as a backup.
• Slide: This option allows you to accept the current seat in the same institute but seek an upgrade to a different branch within that same institute in subsequent CAP rounds.

It is crucial to carefully read the official CAP counselling rules to understand the implications of each option before making a choice.

Documents Required for Reporting

Candidates who choose to "Freeze" their seat and report to the institute must carry all original documents for verification. While a comprehensive list is typically provided in the official information brochure, generally required documents include:
