The "Freeze" option requires payment of a confirmation fee and full university fee to confirm the allotted seat. 
• The "Float" option allows the candidate to hold their allotted seat while waiting for a higher preference NLU seat and pay the difference in fees. The "Float" option expires after the 4th round. The "Exit" option allows the candidate to leave the counseling process, but results in forfeiture of the confirmation fee. The confirmation fee is a non-refundable fee of Rs. 20,000 in the first and second rounds.
