If you received an allotment for your first choice in the first round of KEAM, your other choices will typically be canceled. Once you accept a seat, the remaining options you selected in your application are usually rendered invalid. This means that you are committed to the college you were allotted, and you will not be able to retain those other choices for future allotments.


Regarding the inability to see the option confirmation icon for editing your choices in the second allotment, several factors could be at play:


1. **Status of Allotment**: If you have already accepted the first allotment, the system may restrict changes to your options as you are committed to that college.


2. **Portal Maintenance**: There might be temporary technical issues or scheduled maintenance on the KEAM portal that prevents access to certain features.


3. **Eligibility Criteria**: Ensure that you are within the designated time frame for editing options and that you meet any necessary requirements.


To resolve this, you may want to refresh the portal, check for any official announcements, or contact the KEAM helpdesk for clarification on your editing options and any technical issues you may be facing. For more information, visit the [official KEAM website](https://cee.kerala.gov.in/).

hope this helps you!!

It is not necessary to accept college at first allotment in keam if you are not satisfied with your college go for upgrade option in your second round but remember you might loose your seat in round 1 if you exercise upgrade option.seat allocation is based on availability so if your choice college is not available in 2nd round they will not allot you.
