Hello,

In the context of college admissions where you're participating in a centralized admission process with multiple rounds (like CAP rounds), here’s how it generally works:

1. Round 1 and Round 2 : If you opted for betterment in Round 1 and got the same college and seat in Round 2, it typically means you were upgraded or reallocated to the same option you initially had.

2. Round 3 Betterment : If you choose to participate in Round 3 for further betterment, the seat you currently hold (from Round 2) is usually held as a provisional seat. This means:

   • If you are allotted a new seat in Round 3, you will get the new seat and your previous seat will be automatically canceled.
   • If you do not get a new seat in Round 3 or if the betterment does not result in a higher preference, you will retain your current seat from Round 2.

Important Steps:

1. Review the Rules : Each admission process can have its own specific rules and guidelines, so carefully review the instructions provided by the admission authority for your particular case.

2. Confirm Provisional Hold : Contact the admission office or check the admission guidelines to confirm that your current seat will be held provisionally while you participate in Round 3.

3. Monitor Updates : Keep an eye on any updates or notifications related to your admission status, as this will give you the most accurate information regarding seat allocation and betterment rounds.

By following these steps, you can ensure that you understand your current status and make informed decisions about participating in further rounds of betterment.

Hope it helps !
