JoSAA 2026 Round 2 Seat Allotment Result was released on June 30, 2026 at 5:00 PM. Candidates participating in JoSAA counselling can check whether they received a seat for the first time, retained their previous allocation or received an upgraded seat through Float or Slide.
Candidates receiving a seat for the first time in Round 2 needed to complete the applicable online reporting requirements, including Seat Acceptance Fee payment, document upload, willingness selection and response to verification queries within the official schedule.
JEE Rank + Category + Locked Choices + Seat Availability = JoSAA Seat Allotment
JoSAA Round 2 is not the final JoSAA allocation round. Candidates using Float or Slide could continue to be considered for a higher-preference seat in later rounds, subject to their rank, category, locked choices and seat availability.
Important: Receiving a seat does not complete JoSAA admission automatically. Candidates must complete the required payment, document-verification and online-reporting steps within the applicable deadline.

Round 2 considers candidates who remain eligible in the JoSAA allocation process after Round 1.
| Round 1 Situation | Round 2 Position |
|---|---|
| No seat allotted | May receive an eligible seat in Round 2. |
| Seat + Float | May receive a higher-preference programme. |
| Seat + Slide | May receive a higher-preference programme within the same institute. |
| Seat + Freeze | No further upgrade consideration. |
| Option | Meaning | Further Upgrade? |
|---|---|---|
| Freeze | Accept the current seat and stop seeking an upgrade. | No |
| Float | Accept the current seat while remaining eligible for a higher-preference programme. | Yes |
| Slide | Accept the current seat while seeking a higher-preference programme within the same institute. | Yes |
If a candidate using Float or Slide receives a higher-preference programme in Round 2, the new allocation replaces the previously accepted seat.
Higher-Preference Seat Allotted → Previous JoSAA Seat Replaced
The earlier seat cannot be kept separately after a successful upgrade. Candidates should therefore understand that their original locked choice order continues to affect later-round movement.
A candidate who received no seat in Round 1 may receive a first allocation during Round 2.
| Option | Meaning | Further Upgrade? |
|---|---|---|
| Freeze | Accept the current programme and stop seeking an upgrade. | No |
| Float | Accept the current seat while remaining eligible for a higher-preference programme. | Yes |
| Slide | Accept the current seat while seeking a higher-preference programme within the same institute. | Yes |
Important: Once Freeze is selected, the candidate stops being considered for another JoSAA upgrade.
Selecting Float or Slide does not guarantee an upgrade in every counselling round.
If no higher-preference eligible seat becomes available, the previously accepted seat continues with the candidate.
Review your current seat, remaining preference list and Opening and Closing Ranks before the next allocation.
Check JoSAA Cut-Offs Talk to an ExpertA candidate who remains without a seat after Round 2 can continue to be considered in subsequent rounds if the candidate remains in the JoSAA allocation process.
JoSAA 2026 also provides an Exit option for candidates who have not received a seat. Using Exit ends participation in subsequent JoSAA rounds.
Want to Remain Eligible for Round 3? Do Not Use Exit
Candidates receiving a seat for the first time must pay the applicable Seat Acceptance Fee as part of online reporting.
| Candidate Category | Seat Acceptance Fee |
|---|---|
| SC, ST, GEN-PwD, GEN-EWS-PwD, OBC-NCL-PwD, SC-PwD and ST-PwD | ₹15,000 |
| All other candidate-category tags | ₹30,000 |
The Seat Acceptance Fee includes ₹5,000 as processing charges. The applicable remaining amount is adjusted against the institute admission fee according to JoSAA rules.
Already paid earlier? A candidate who already paid the Seat Acceptance Fee does not pay the same fee again merely because the seat is upgraded through Float or Slide.
Candidates receiving a seat for the first time should complete the applicable document upload and verification process through the JoSAA portal.
Verification reminder: Check the JoSAA dashboard regularly. Candidates should respond to verification queries within the applicable reporting timeline.
| Option | Used By | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Withdrawal | Candidate who has already accepted a seat | The accepted seat is cancelled and the candidate leaves the JoSAA allocation process. |
| Exit | Candidate who has not received a seat | The candidate voluntarily stops participation in subsequent JoSAA rounds. |
Seat allotment and cut-off are related, but they are not the same.
| Seat Allotment | Cut-Off |
|---|---|
| Shows the seat allotted to an individual candidate. | Shows the Opening Rank and Closing Rank for a particular seat pool. |
| Checked through the candidate login. | Used for rank comparison after the counselling round. |
| Tells the candidate which institute and programme were allotted. | Depends on institute, programme, category, quota and gender pool. |
