JoSAA Mock Seat Allotment 

JoSAA Mock Seat Allotment is conducted before the actual seat allocation. This show only the possibility of getting seat according to your filled choices.

Then again a mock seat allocation 2 round will be done  .. After that you have to lock your choices or your choice will automatically be locked when last date of choice filling expired.

JoSAA Seat Allotment Result

After the two mock seat allocation , Final JoSAA Seat Allotment will be held in 6-7 rounds. The candidate s will be allocated seat based on your Rank in Jee Main and JEE ADVANCED and choices filled during online registration.  You can view the seat allotment result by logging into their account using application number and password.

   If you got a seat then download the provisional seat allotment letter and pay the seat acceptance fee of Rs 35000(for General, OBC,EWS) and 15000 for (SC,ST,GEN-PwD, GEN-EWS-PwD ,  OBC-NCL-Pwd, SC-PwD ). Once the seat acceptance fees is paid , you will have to report to the reporting center(RC) for document Verification.

. At the time of accepting the seat online, a candidate has to opt for any one of the options ‘freeze’, ‘slide’ or ‘float’ for the choice of academic program for subsequent round(s), if any, of joint seat allocation (in case if the candidate has been allocated seat as per his/her first choice, above option will not be available). 

  👉 (A) Freeze : 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.

 👉 (B) Float : 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. 

👉 (C) Slide : Candidates accept the offered seat and indicate that, if admission to an academic program of better / higher preference is offered within the same Institute, they will accept it. Such candidates will be considered in subsequent rounds of admission.

 (D) For candidates who choose the float or slide option, allocation of a seat in an academic program of his/her higher preference would automatically result in the forfeiture of the seat accepted by the candidate in the earlier round.

Some more important points to be kept in mind during JoSAA Counselling Seat Result

➡️ Slide and float options will be available to only those candidates who are NOT offered admission to their first choice. 

➡️  Slide and float options are NOT available in the last round of seat acceptance.

➡️ Except in the last round of seat allocation, a candidate can change from float to slide/freeze and slide to freeze by online reporting.
