What is JoSAA 2026?

JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) is the centralized counselling process for admission to India's top engineering institutes via JEE scores.

JoSAA 2026 covers seat allocation across 138 centrally funded institutes — 23 IITs, 31 NITs, 26 IIITs, and 58+ GFTIs. Over 67,000 seats are up for grabs across these institutions.

What is Mock Allotment — and Why Does It Matter?

The mock allotment mirrors the real allotment algorithm using your current JEE Main or JEE Advanced rank, your filled choice list of colleges and branches in order of preference, available seats across all 138 participating institutes, and your category, quota, and gender pool eligibility.

Think of it as a dress rehearsal — it shows exactly where your current choices place you and gives you a critical window to fix your preference list before it is locked forever.

⚠️ The mock allotment is purely indicative and changes dynamically as thousands of other candidates continue to edit their choices. It carries no binding value.

5 Mistakes to Avoid Right Now

1. Treating the mock result as final Other students are actively editing choices right now, which continuously shifts the cutoffs. Never lock your strategy based on mock alone.

2. Ordering choices only on last year's ranks Always order your list based on what and where you actually want to study — not purely on previous year opening/closing ranks.

3. Deleting choices in panic Removing too many options without adding replacements can leave you with a much weaker fallback seat.

4. Not checking Home State vs Other State quota at NITs Home State and Other State quota have very different cutoffs at NITs. Check which quota applies to you before building your preference list.

5. Missing the June 11 deadline There is no extension once the system locks. Missing this window means waiting for the next round with fewer available seats.
