Candidates who are allotted an institute but want to try for a higher preference can use the Slide Up option.
However, they must first complete enrollment at the institute allotted to them. The Slide Up option becomes valid only after the institute updates the candidate's enrollment status on the portal.
If the candidate gets a higher-preference institute in a subsequent selection list, the earlier seat will be treated as vacant.
Candidates who fail to complete admission at the institute allotted to them within the prescribed period will lose their candidature for subsequent rounds.

Candidates who do not get a seat in the first list can participate in the subsequent selection rounds, subject to vacancies.
They may also modify their previously submitted preferences when the Board opens the relevant window.
The second and third selection rounds will be conducted based on the seats left vacant after the earlier admission phases. If seats remain vacant even after the scheduled rounds, a separate notification may be issued for a Spot Round.
The Board has also made it clear that D.El.Ed. institutes cannot admit candidates outside the prescribed online admission process. Any admission made through another route will be treated as invalid.
Candidates facing difficulties during the process can raise their concerns through the Grievance section of the admission portal or contact the helpline numbers provided by the Board.
