Upward Movement (often referred to as the "Float" or "Upgrade" option) is a vital feature in the MP DTE Counselling Process. It allows candidates who have been allotted a seat to opt for a higher-preference choice in the subsequent rounds while securing their current allotment.
If you are allotted your 3rd preference but you still want to try for your 1st or 2nd preference, you can choose Upward Movement. The system will only evaluate you for choices filled above your currently allotted choice.
