The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) has released the mock seat allotment list for round 1 of the 2026 counselling process. Candidates who have registered for JoSAA counselling can now view their probable allotment to Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), or Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs).
What is the Mock Seat Allotment?
The mock seat allotment is a preliminary list designed to help candidates understand their chances of securing a seat based on their JEE Advanced rank and the choices they have filled. It is not a final offer but provides an opportunity for candidates to reassess their preferences and make changes if needed.
Key Dates to Remember
- Mock Round 1 Released: June 9, 2026
- Final Choice-Locking Deadline: June 11, 2026
What Should Candidates Do Next?
Candidates are advised to log in to the official JoSAA website using their JEE Application number and password to check their mock allotment. Based on the results, they can revise their preferences by adding, removing, or reordering choices. It is crucial to lock their final choices before the deadline on June 11, as no changes will be allowed after that.
Important Points to Note
- The mock allotment is for reference only and does not guarantee a seat in the final allotment.
- Preference revision is allowed only until the choice-locking deadline.
- Candidates must ensure that they lock their choices; otherwise, the last saved preferences will be considered.
The actual seat allotment will be based on the final locked preferences, candidate category, and seat availability. For more details, candidates should visit the official JoSAA website and read the information bulletin carefully.
