Thereafter, candidates can login with their JEE MAIN application number and password to start filling their choices. The seat allotment is held by the Joint Seat Allocation Authority in 7 rounds.

It has to be noted that, Candidates can choose either options after the seat allotment procedure has been done by JoSAA:
Freeze: The candidate accepts the allotted seat and does not participate in further rounds.
Float: This indicates, that if there is a better offer by other institute, then they will accept it or they will continue with seat allotment for further rounds.
Slide: If better seat is offered in same institute, then they will accept it
This is how the entire counselling process works. The students need to be very vigilant and cautious, as not to miss any opportunity.
Note: The Slide and Float options are not available in the last round.
