1. I didn’t get a seat in the first round. Can I get one now in the second selection ?
Yes! The second selection is meant exactly for students like you—those who didn’t get any allotment in the first round. If your marks and preferences align with available seats, you’ve got a good chance. Just log in and check your status on the portal.
2. What’s the difference between Freeze, Slide, and Float? Which one should I choose ?
-
Freeze means you’re happy with the seat allotted and don’t want any further upgrades.
-
Slide keeps you in the same stream but lets you upgrade to a better college.
-
Float allows upgrading to a better stream and college.
If you’re satisfied, go with Freeze. If you’re aiming for something better but still want to secure a seat, Slide or Float is your friend.
3. I’ve been allotted a seat. What should I do next ?
You need to:
-
Choose Freeze, Slide, or Float by June 25, 2025 (3:00 PM).
-
Pay the admission fee online.
-
Report to your allotted college between June 23 to 25 (10 AM to 5 PM) with all required documents.
Don’t delay—missing deadlines can lead to cancellation.
4. Where can I see the cut-off marks for the second round ?
Go to samsodisha.gov.in, head to the +3 Degree section, and click on “Cut-Off Marks”. Choose Session: 2025-26 and Selection Round: Second to check stream-wise and category-wise cut-offs for your college.
5. Will there be a third selection list ?
Possibly. If seats remain vacant after the second round, the Higher Education Department may release a third merit list. Keep an eye on the website and your registered number for updates. But for now, focus on the second round process and completing all steps on time.
