JEE Counselling - Freeze , Float , Slide

By -
What are the meaning of the terms 'Freeze', 'Float' and 'Slide' ?
Ans.These three options allow a candidate to either retain the seat allocated or to opt for a change in seat as per candidate's preference in any of the institutes or in the same institute in which the seat is allocated.
(1) Freezing: Candidates  accept  the  offered  seat  and  indicate  that  they are  content  with  the  allocated  academic  program  and  that  they  do  not want  to  participate  in  further  rounds  of  seat  allocation.  Such  candidates will NOT be considered in subsequent rounds of admission.
(2) Floating: Candidates  accept  the  offered  seat  and  indicate  that,  if admission  to  an  academic  program  of  better/higher  preference  in  any Institute  is  offered,  they  will  accept  it.  Else,  they  will  continue  with  the currently accepted academic program. Such candidates will be considered in subsequent rounds of admission.
(3) Sliding:  Candidates  accept  the  offered  seat  and  indicate  that,  if admission  to  an  academic  program  of  better  /  higher  preference  is offeredwithin the same Institute, they will accept it. Such candidates will be considered in subsequent rounds of admission.
  • Let us consider an example. Say a candidate Mr. Krishna opts for the following options while filling-in the choices online,
Option no.InstituteProgramDegree/Years
1IITBAerospace EngineeringB.Tech, 4 years
2IITBCivil EngineeringB.Tech, 4 years
3IITKMechanical EngineeringB.Tech, 4 years
4IITHComputer Science EngineeringB.Tech, 4 years
5IITBChemical EngineeringB.Tech, 4 years
6IITHElectrical EngineeringB.Tech, 4 years
7IIT(BHU)Computer Science EngineeringB.Tech, 4 years
8IITKChemical EngineeringB.Tech, 4 years
9IITDChemical EngineeringB.Tech, 4 years
10IITDProduction and Industrial EngineeringB.Tech, 4 years
11IITRElectronics and Communication EngineeringB.Tech, 4 years
12IITDEngineering PhysicsB.Tech, 4 years
13IITMChemical EngineeringB.Tech, 4 years

Now, let us assume that in round 1 of seat allocation, Mr. Krishna is allotted IITD Engineering Physics i.e., option #12. Now he has to opt for any ONE out of the THREE available options (i.e. Freezing, Floating and Sliding) to finalize his seat acceptance in round 1. 
  • Suppose he chooses the FREEZING option: this means that Mr. Krishna is satisfied with the allocated seat (i.e. option #12 IITD Engineering Physics in this case). It is final and Mr. Krishna accepts and gets the seat and CANNOTparticipate in further rounds of seat allocation programme. Finally Mr. Krishna's final allottment of seat is IITD Engineering Physics.
  • Suppose he chooses the FLOATING option: this means that Mr. Krishna accepts the IITD Engineering Physics (allotted option #12) seat but wants to wait for a seat in the higher preference (i.e., options #1 to #11) program in the subsequent rounds. He will be considered in subsequent rounds of seat allocation. In the 2nd (or 3rd) round, if he DOES NOT get any of the options #1 to #11, he still retains the IITD Engineering Physics seat. However, if he gets a seat of higher preference, say, option #5, IITB Chemical Engineering, he will be allocated the IITB Chemical Engineering seat and he loses the IITD Engineering Physics seat.
  • Suppose he chooses the SLIDING option: this means that Mr. Krishna accepts the IITD Engineering Physics (allotted option #12) seat but wants to wait for a seat within the same Institute (IITD in this case) for a seat in a program of higher preference (options #9 and #10). He will be considered in subsequent rounds of seat allocation. In the 2nd (or 3rd) round, if he DOES NOT get either of these two options (viz., #9 or #10), he still retains the IITD Engineering Physics seat. However, if he gets a seat in one these two options, say, IITD  Chemical Engineering, he will be allocated the IITD Chemcal Engineering seat and he will lose his IITD Engineering Physics seat.
  • NOTE: Whether Krishna chooses FREEZE, FLOAT or SLIDE option, he is assured of AT THE LEAST the IITD Engineering Physics seat.

GCP-Tensorflow- Install Tensorflow-GPU with CUDA 8.0 and cuDNN 6

Hello everyone.. (This is the entire process. I will edit this post with images and format it properly later.) Today I'm gonna show you how to setup a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) GPU instance and install Tensorflow-GPU with CUDA 8.0 and CuDNN 6. (I'm not showing you how to register for GCP and get a Quota increase for having a GPU in a zone .. If you want me to show how that is done, comment below.) Let's begin... 1)  Open cloud.google.com and login to get to your console. 2) Navigate to Compute Engine -> VM Instances which appears by clicking on the Hamburger icon ( three  horizontal bars ) 3) Click Create 4) Choose all your requirements. I need 4 vCPUs and 15GB memory and a K80 GPU with 50GB storage having Ubuntu 16.04 Image. I will allow traffic from both HTTP and HTTPS. Observe carefully what I'm doing.. 6) The instance is being created. Meanwhile let's get links to download CUDA 8.0 and CuDNN 6. You need to have an account at NVIDIA's d...

Auto Shutdown

Hi guys . . . This is a short tutorial about setting automatic Shutdown without the need for any third party software/tool. Let's get into it. It can be done in two ways . . .  Method 1 Using CMD Open CMD and type the following code into it shutdown -s -t 1000 (The number 1000 is 1000 milliseconds. Change it depending on the amount of time you want the system to be on.) If you want to abort this automatic shutdown then type the following code into the prompt shutdown -a (This aborts the automatic shutdown which has been initiated from the previous command.) Method 2 Using a batch file Batch files are generally used to execute a set of commands on launching them. In order to create a batch file for automatic shutdown, open Notepad. Type the following code into it. shutdown -s -t 1000 (The number 1000 is 1000 seconds. Change it depending on the amount of time you want the system to be on.) If you want to abort...

MinGW is a C/C++ compiler suite. MinGW(Minimalist GNU for Windows), formerly mingw32 is a free and open source software development environment for creating Microsoft Windows applications. ~ Wikipedia Step 1: Download   The link to download the installer is given under. Download it.(mingw-get-setup). MinGW Step 2: Installer Get the installer which will be downloaded when you run the mingw setup. Select the mingw basic and mingw gcc compiler After you are done with this... Click Installation on the top left and select update catalogue which will ask you review changes and accept them. When it finishes, your MinGW installation is complete except the part of "Path Setting" Step 2: Getting MinGW (alternate way) There is an other way to get the MinGW files. Click on the link given below and download the files. Paste them to your default installation disk (For example, my default drive is C). Then Proceed to the next step. Link :   http...
