Candidates who are allocated seats in a round as per their 1st choice of preference will not be qualified to participate in the Slide-up process.

Fee Payment

Candidates who receive the offer of provisional admission have to pay the required fees within the specified time provided by the authorities. The fee payment has to be made in online mode. If the aspirants utilise the Slide-up and secure a seat, then they have to pay the differential charges only.

Slide-up opted students will be shifted to the B.Ed institute/ college as per the choice they added during the Odisha B.Ed choice filling.

However, this would depend on whether a vacancy is available in that particular institution for that stream and social category. If a candidate picks up the Slide-up option and acquires a seat in the upcoming selection round, then they have to enrol in the institution they decided on.
