Yes, candidates who select the 'Float' option after seat allotment can be considered for higher-preference colleges in subsequent CAP rounds. If allotted a better option, the previous seat is automatically canceled. However, candidates who choose 'Freeze' are not eligible for further upgrades. It is important to monitor CAP round results and respond within stipulated deadlines to secure upgraded seats.
