Hello there,

In JoSAA or CSAB counseling processes (which govern most central/state engineering admissions like NITs, IIITs, GFTIs), the ability to upgrade in further rounds depends on your actions in earlier rounds .

Since you said:

1. You were allotted a seat in Round 1 and accepted it .

2. You opted for "Float" (which allows upgrades in further rounds).

3. In Round 2 , you got a new allotment but did not accept it because you didn't prefer it.

This likely resulted in your seat being forfeited depending on whether you:

• Actively rejected the new seat in Round 2 (which means you're out of counseling), or
  
  

• Did nothing (i.e., didn’t report or pay fees), which usually leads to automatic exit.
  
  Now, about Round 3:

• You cannot upgrade again in Round 3 if you did not accept the Round 2 seat. The system considers that as you leaving the process .
  
  

• If you wanted to retain the Round 1 seat , you needed to decline the upgrade option (Freeze) or accept the new one in Round 2.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
