Crucial SAMS Odisha Counselling Rules: ‘Slide’ vs. ‘Freeze’ & Intimation Letters
- How ‘Freeze’ vs. ‘Slide’ Works: Once your name appears in the 1st or 2nd Merit List on te.samsodisha.gov.in, you must log into your SAMS account, choose either Freeze (to accept the allotted B.Ed college and download your Intimation Letter for physical reporting) or Slide (to float for a higher-preference institution in the next round), and pay the online admission fee within the 3-day window.
- Mandatory Negative Marking Impact: The 100-mark SSB Odisha B.Ed entrance test awards
+1for every correct response and deducts-0.25for every wrong answer, meaning raw scores often include decimal values (.25,.50,.75) that directly determine tie-breaking ranks. - Tie-Breaking Rule: When two candidates secure identical entrance marks, SAMS ranks the candidate with the higher graduation percentage first, followed by the older candidate by Date of Birth.
